Quite a weekend

Well it's only 5:00 on Saturday, and already this has been quite the packed holiday weekend. Wednesday I worked through my to-do lists and got lots of things done for church, the house cleaned up, and one set of tests graded. That night we went over to the Noble's to celebrate Luke's first birthday and make some cookies with the older boys. The cookies were a big hit...pilgrim hats made from fudge striped cookies and reese's peanut butter cups with a reese's pieces for a buckle. We ate a lot of candy and frosting in the process, but they turned out pretty cute. Thursday was some more time to get caught up around the house and I actually finished all of the grading that I brought home for the weekend...that has made everything else so much more fun! We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with Brad's family that night. Friday we spent the day with my family as my aunt and grandpa were down for the holiday. We brought them on a little "field trip" to our house and spent a lot of time hearing stories we've already heard from grandpa :) And today we went to cut down our Christmas tree. We took Lucy along and met up with the whole Bomer family there. Brad and I did a lot of hunting to find a good one, but settled on one that seems reasonably skinny. We have it in the stand in the office and tonight I hope to get it decorated. I added some cute pictures from the weekend to my facebook.
