Weekend recap.

Friday night was wonderful-I did some laundry and wrapped most of my Christmas presents while Jay was at his coaching clinic. It feels so good to be almost completely done shopping! Just knowing I won't have to waddle around the packed stores as we enter the Christmas craze makes me so happy. There were some perks to shopping early this year too, I got to take my time and find exactly what I was looking for, and everything was on sale too! There's just something about the time of year after Thanksgiving that jacks up the prices on everything for Christmas shopping. Have you noticed that? The usual $15 dvd jumps to $25.99 and everything gets crazy. This is of course excluding black Friday after Thanksgiving, but I'm for sure not taking part in those festivities this year, and happy to do so!! It really helped with my impulse buying as well. The closer I get to Christmas the more cheery and "rich" I seem to be!! After wrapping up our gifts I made a Target run, planning to bake some cookies for the Halloween festivites the next day. I came home with a few things but not what I had gone out to get! I had completely forgotten the eggs. I was exhausted by the time I got home so I snuggled in bed with bean and watched tv as I waited for Jay to get home. It was the perfect start to a crazy and packed weekend full of activities!

Saturday morning we headed to Lake Harriet for the 5k9 monster dash race. Jay and Nemo did great! My father in law came to support Jay and it was fun to have him there. We grabbed a quick lunch afterwards and then headed to my in-laws for family game day. Jay dressed as a cow and I dressed bean as a speed bump :) here are a few pictures from our day.
We got home late Saturday night and I was up early for my last family session of the season! Hallelujah! After that we headed to meet with with my assistant Meg to take our belly photos. That was super fun, and we went to Granite City for lunch afterwards to relax and unwind from our crazy weekend...and watch the Vikes game of course. It was a great weekend!

The next few weeks are going to fly by because we are just as busy. This weekend we'll be heading down to see Bunny + Papa with my Mom, and next weekend my Mom and I are headed to Talahassee to visit Al!!!!!!!!!!!!! The following weekends are filled with showers and Thanksgiving and then it's December and I am nearing my maternity leave. We have so much to look forward to and be thankful for!
