Not a Long Weekend BUT Much Busier

Friday after Dad finished work, we took a trip up to Mt. Doug Park and watched the sunset and moonrise.

Some kids showed up and Ethan was thrilled, "KIDS!", and he sprang into action to join the fun as usual.
The bigger girls were climbing on the little cement wall and jumping off of it and running around and splashing in small puddles. He had such a great time. It is so cute to watch him with older kids - he loves them...especially the little ladies...
He also loves to jump off of things - but that's not really big news...
On Saturday we took a trip to Mayfair Mall and Christmas was in full swing. Even Santa's place was set upalready! It was fun to cruise the mall with Ethan saying, "Christmas STARS! Christmas LIGHTS! Christmas (YOU GET THE PICTURE)..." I have a feeling this Christmas will be pretty fun because he knows what is going on - especially with the presents after just having a birthday last month.

Saturday night, Troy and I had our first full night out away from the kids. We went to dinner last month but we were home in under 2 hours - so it wasn't like a full social event.

Hopefully, you might have guessed that we went to an "Ugly Sweater Party" and that we (and our friends) do not normally dress like this. Above is Troy, with one of the party hosts, Jay wearing my sweater after the voting was over. It looks pretty cute on him.

Here is Holly and Kellie, and below, Troy and I. I was too busy enjoying myself to take more pictures. We had a fun night!

Sunday was a usual busy soccer park day and we were were both on the couch asleep by 7:30 after getting the kids to bed. Boy weekends sure have changed in the past couple of years...
