Our Weekend

This weekend has been one of those crazy calm weekends for us. Besides from the normal trip to the commissary and doing a little Christmas shopping things went as usual. Laundry, cleaning the house and hanging out and the amazing smell of White Bean Chicken Chili cooking in the crock pot with some corn bread in the oven, by far one of the most amazing dinners I have made. However we did get to watch our friends super cute baby and she was just a doll. Kaiya loved having her there, she wanted to hold her and play with her.

Sunday is our wind down day, also dooms day for Cody. He had to get all of his bags packed to go to the "field"... He has to be gone for a whole week just camping out and playing army (well that is what Jessica calls it). We are hoping that since he will only be at Fort Eustis (where he is stationed) he will get to come home to sleep and see his family. Jessica had a fun day crafting on Sunday. She made the Christmas wreath to go on the outside of the door of our house. Kaiya was very helpful in handing mommy tulle. Our next project is making the inside wreath and getting a star for the tree.


Next weekend should be fun, we have plans to go through a drive through light display at a local park near us and to take Kaiya to go and see Santa. She is finally at the age where she kinda understands what is going on. Every time we go to the mall we tell her look there is Santa and she gets the HUGE grin on her face. We were at Sams Club a few weeks ago and she kept staring at this man, he said hi to her and said are you going to come and visit me soon? She looked so confused, he looks just like Santa and his wife looked like Mrs. Clause (we think they play them during the holiday season because he acted just like it). Kaiya was smitten by him and his wife and ever since has had a thing with seeing Santa. Hopefully she doesnt cry when we go take her to sit on his lap. She is going to have an extra special Christmas this year, besides all of her presents and multiple days of opening them, it is our first Christmas alone as a family. Jessica is excited to cook her first Christmas dinner and have fun just hanging out all day watching Kaiya play with her new toys, Cody will probably be having a good time not having to work and h will probably have a few beers in him throughout the day. LOL

*Tis the season to be Jolly*
