Winter Wonderland




Saturday was a great day! Our day started with a trip to the mall, we originally didn't plan on going near the mall this time of year on a weekend but, we were picking up a coat at Macy's as a favor to my father in law. So, I decided to just make one dreaded trip and go ahead and get our visit to Santa out of the way. We were so lucky, we got there and didn't even have to wait, Aiden got right up on his lap and told him exactly what he wanted. I was so pleased that there were no surprise items, he stuck to his original wishes, a drum set and power rangers toys. (Which are already purchased!) We left the mall and the snow was falling, it was just a nice day to be out and about this time of year! We then headed to the home depot to look at the Christmas decorations. We ended up getting two 4 Ft. inflatables, a snowman and a santa, I can deal with that! ( per my previous post) Once we got home Aiden and I both took little naps and we went to dinner. When we got home from dinner Aiden wanted to play in the snow so we ran around the front yard for a little while and I was able to get a few cute pictures!
Sunday rolled around and I went to the store and came home and started cooking away. I made dinner for Sunday evening and a pot of chili that is home cooking as I type for dinner this evening. Chris and Aiden were outside playing again and Chris decided to just go ahead even in the freezing cold temps and hang the outside lights. Well, after three hours outside he comes in and is upset because only 1 or the 4 strands of lights is working!!! I felt so bad for him although, I still can't figure out why he didn't test them prior to hanging them up! So, right now we have lights on the house that don't light, but my wreath and the inflatables are good to go! Hopefully we can get everything working by this weekend!!
