christmastime


Yay! It's December. Christmastime has officially started. Christmas music, lights, santas, goodwill to all... I really love this time of year. I feel like this December is one of the hardest I've dealt with, but I am also more happy right now than I have been in previous years. I have my boys. They are so cool. I have my friends. I am making strides towards keeping contact with the family I do have in my life. 
This weekend the boys and I chalked it full with everything we could. Saturday we left early to Seattle where we had lunch at Red Robin.  We walked to the arcade and played and played and played.  Unfortunately i didnt take my camera this time, i have been waiting to get my replacement 50 mm lens (which arrived late saturday by the way). After the arcade, we ventured to the aquarium and spent some time playing with the starfish. We finished up the day at Top Pot Donuts, like most of our Seattle trips, for some chocolate maple bars and coffee for mom.   
Today, Noah got to spend the afternoon with friends at the ymca for a birthday party and Parker and i got to spend some quality time at a sushi restaurant. :) And after we went to chuck-e-cheese.. 
Tonight we worked on our Gingerbread house... complete with frosted windows and gummy gum drops.  What a great way to begin Christmastime.
