Weekend Fun

I hope y'all have had a good weekend! Ours has been busy, but so fun! Jacob had Friday night free, so we packed the night full of fun family things! We went and ate Mexican, then we drove around and looked at Christmas lights. Lily just loves the lights this year. It is so precious to hear her oooh and aaah over them.

When we got home, we let the kids open their Christmas pajamas.

Lily is a pro at ripping the presents open this year, but Levi is still trying to figure out what he's supposed to do. I'm sure it's not going to take him long with the way he loves to rip up magazines and books! Ha.

 The best picture we could get.

 Love the little hiney!

After we got the kids to bed, Jacob and I enjoyed hot chocolate and watched a Christmas movie (I can't even remember the name of it now...mommy brain!) It was such a good evening to be together as a family.

Saturday morning Jacob took Lily on a date for breakfast at Starbucks. We can tell that Jacob's being gone so much is taking a toll on his and Lily's relationship, so he skipped a meeting at church to spend time with her. I'm very thankful that the daddy/daughter relationship is important to him - even now when she's little. After they had breakfast, they went to Target and shopped for some Christmas presents for me and Levi. 

Saturday afternoon I ran to the grocery store and we did some baking. Later in the afternoon I took the kids to visit Memaw and my Mom while Jacob was at a men's prayer meeting.

Sunday was a normal busy day, plus Jacob had to play in Christmas programs in the afternoon and evening. Getting ready and out the door to church is always a challenge without him, but we managed and actually made it on time!

I was hoping to get some pictures of the kids (sitting together) in their Christmasy clothes, but they didn't really cooperate. Oh well. I made Levi's tie and just love how it turned out! Can't wait to make some more!

I'm thankful for the sweet memories we made together this weekend! My heart is full!
