We've had a very busy but fun-filled week. It didn't start out great for me as I had a dental appt on Monday - and I hate the dentist. However, the week did proceed to get better from there. Tuesday was basketball practice and Wednesday was basketball game. Our boys had already checked out for Christmas though as we lost - seeing as how they really only "played" during the last two minutes of the game. We will, however, see that team again with a different outcome I am sure. Thursday after work was marathon shopping - had to get everything finished. TR & Bradley went shopping also. It was a very productive night for everyone. Friday night we wrapped presents and cleaned up to make sure we were ready for our big weekend.
Saturday we had our annual family work Christmas at Don's. It was great fun and we were there from about 1:30 until 8:30. I think Bradley played basketball about 6 of the 7 hours we were there! It was so much fun - good food, good drinks, good presents and great people. It's always fun to watch everyone open their gifts. I think everyone got everything they asked for and then some. We came home to an impromptu bonfire next door - complete with marshmallows and smores. It was nice to sit around and have a few laughs with the neighbors.
Sunday we woke up to more yard decorations. As you can see, all of our geese suddenly have their own signs - I wonder who could have done that? Now, it's game on - I'm looking for very specific yard decorations to add to my neighbors collection. If I can find them, I will definitely post pictures.
We then headed out to the Braves baseball Christmas party at Fun Spot. This is a mini amusement park in Orlando that has a bunch of go-kart tracks and a few other rides. The boys had a GREAT time. It was a perfect place for the party and everyone enjoyed the Christmas exchange. It was so nice to see the boys having such fun. It was cold here today (by Florida standards) at only 60 degrees. Some of our boys - who definitely are not used to cold weather - forgot how cold it was and proceeded to get on the water bumper boats. Not the smartest move but luckily we had some extra jackets to keep them warm.
We also added another member to our family today - JJ the Jack Russell terrier. Now, don't panic, it's a stuffed animal dressed in Magic clothes and appropriately named after JJ Redick. We also had to pick up a Gator shirt for the original Build A Bear - Freddie the Monkey.
