Sunday we got up and attended church services. We stopped by the store on the way home and then spent the rest of the day relaxing. We played games and watched some tv as a family. Of course, we also accomplished a few chores around the house before going to bed.
Monday was a bit busy. Malachi and I took Mysia to piano lessons. At home the kids took showers while I prepared dinner. Lydia attended her Zumba class before coming home. We watched a couple of TV shows before bedtime.
Tuesday was busy, trying to get work accomplished for the rest of the week. We have had problems with the van lately, so I took it in and found out we need the radiator replaced.. Something we'll be doing at a later date. Lydia and the kids came to the radio station after 5 and we produced my thanksgiving show together with them sharing the things they are thankful for. We then spent a relaxing evening at home.
Wednesday I had off with the kids. They watched cartoons after waking up. We did a few things around the house, ate lunch, and then visited Lydia at her office in the afternoon. We then headed over to my parent's house so that we could visit with family. Ben and his family were in visiting, so the cousins got to play for s bit. A few of us took the guns out for some some target practice. It was cold, but enjoyable. Everyone met at our house and we then went to Rib Crib in celebration of my dad's birthday. We enjoyed supper together, visited Sam's house to see his dogs, and then back to my parent's for birthday cake. We stayed late visiting. Once back home, the kids were put to bed and we remained up working on food for Thanksgiving dinner.
On thanksgiving day, we slept in a bit and let the kids watch cartoons before watching the parade. We packed up a few belongings and the food and headed off to Lydia's Aunt and Uncle's house to spend the day with her family. It was a beautiful day, so the kids got to spend time playing outside. They also played games with the other kids while we visited. Dinner was terrific! Once home that evening, we went to bed.
We slept in on Friday and then watched cartoons during breakfast. I pulled out the Christmas decorations and then headed into work to do my on-air shift. Lydia and the kids did things around the house, and when I came back home, we packed up and headed to visit with our friends Scott and Cyleste for the evening. The kids played outside until it got dark while we visited and played board games. We had fun, and even to bed once we came home that night.
Saturday was busy. After watching cartoons, we started rearranging the house for the Christmas decorations. Yes, this happens every year... We were able to make room for the big tree and the kids put the ornaments on. They also rode their bikes down the street for a while during the afternoon. Later that evening, Lydia went grocery shopping as the kids and I tried to clean up the Christmas decoration containers. Once the groceries were put away, and the kids were ready for bed, we watched a Christmas movie on Netflix to start the holiday season right.
