This was a really good weekend! On Friday night the neighbors (Justin, Mason & Preston) came over to play after dinner. The kids were good! What was funny was Mason and Preston played with toys, and Myles was totally into watching Wall-e. So they didn't play much together. Holly managed to mix it up a bit and did some of both. Funny. Then on Saturday we went shopping a bit with the kids (Holly and Mommy to Kohls while Myles and Daddy went to Target). We met up for lunch at Noodles - Yum! Then in the evening the Murphy's came over for dinner and playing. Michelle and I worked a bit on her resume, but it really was good, so not much work was needed. The kids did well for the most part. Everyone stayed up late - they went to bed about 8:30 or so. And as a result everyone slept in until almost 7:30 am! Wow! I can't remember the last time that happened! It was wonderful! So today, Sunday, we went to church and Erik had to help out with Sunday school. Sounds like it was fun and filled with crafts and a birthday cake for baby Jesus.

Right after church we headed to downtown Minneapolis to the Macy's holiday display. It was about Elfs and what they do in a day. Very cute! The kids really liked all the different displays, and so did us adults! :) We also made 3 quick purchases: Erik bought a shirt, Myles got one of those paddles with a ball on a string thing, and I got the best purse EVER! On our way out we ran into a bunch of our relatives! Carol & Joe Stoebner, Jeff & Renee with their kids, and Tamara & Rob with Gia. How fun! They had just gone through the Macy's holiday display and at in the nice resturant at Macy's. We chatted for a bit while the kids ran around. Jeff and Rob took the boys up and down the escalator - they thought it was so much fun! We then came home for naps (or quiet time in Myles's case!) and then played in the afternoon while watching the Vikings game. Erik made a really great dinner, and then soon it was bath time. Now the kids are in bed and I'm watching a Christmas movie. Talk about a great weekend! I sure hope everyone else enjoyed the last 2 days!

Love, Andrea
