It does not normally snow in Houston in the winter, so this year and last year were special in that we got some snow! Josie and Michael and I went out to let it hit our faces. The ground was really wet, and not quite cold enough for the snow to stick here, so we did not get to make a snowball or snowman, but we got some super pretty snowflakes!
Later that afternoon, we went over to my persons mom's house to visit and talk and let the kids play together. There was Chili involved and yummy coffee, which is like icing on a cake if you ask me. I had a pumpkin cheesecake that was just begging to be loved and eaten, so I took that over for anyone to enjoy, and to my surprise... almost everyone tried it and liked it! YAY!
Saturday I woke up and got started making chili for Helen's birthday dinner that we were celebrating that night. I also had an apple pie from scratch to make. :) I spent the first 3 hours of being awake on Saturday in the kitchen lol. But it all got done, including an avocado salsa, so that I wouldn't be rushing around later.
I then went to target to run some errands, and had to be back by 3 to go take my person's family Christmas pics. I made it there by 3:30 which is just after everyone else arrived. There were 11 people total! The pics were all taken, including an outfit change, in two locations close to the house, and everyone seemed to be pleased with the way the pictures looked... THANK GOODNESS. Nothing scares me more than taking pictures that no one likes. Although I did not want or expect them to give me money, they insisted, so I obliged them. I will put it towards the just in case we end up with a c-section fund.
Sunday was pretty uneventful, we went to Starbucks got the Sunday paper, went to see the fish and other animals at Petsmart also buying some dog and cat food while we were there. After that we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get some more K-cups with our 20% off coupons, and then went to see if Kohls had any good deals on clothes for Michael or the girls, which we didn't find anything there, so it was time to head home and put Josie down for her nap. I had some leftover chili, Michael went to hang out at a friends for the afternoon, so I laid down while Josie did. When she woke up I made her a good lunch that she ate, and put on Christmas music and clipped coupons and sat with her while she ate. Then we put up the stockings on the banister, put some bows on the tree, and played until later in the evening. Michael came home just after Josie and I had dinner. All in all it was a special holiday eventful weekend with just enough busy mixed in with the relaxed to work out well. Next weekend the girls will be getting their pictures with Santa! WOOHOO can't wait!
