Friday night after work I met Tom at the bowling alley to watch Brandon's first bowling meet, it was at Bowling and Beyond against Hempstead unfortunately they lost but they're a young team and will be pretty good once they get going. After bowling I stopped and picked up Chinese food while Tom and Brandon picked up one of Brandon's friend and a pizza from Domino's. I got beef and broccoli and fried rice and Tom got twice cooked pork and of course we had to get crabmeat ragoons. Everything was delicious. After dinner we watched the movie Hall Pass, no wait I think that was the night before, anyway we watched a movie and headed to bed. Oh Tom stayed up all day so he didn't go to bed after work, so he was pretty much sleeping on the couch right after supper about 7:30 so I was up watching my show - General Hospital, then I went to bed.
Saturday we woke up to either go shopping and finish our Christmas shopping or clean the house, we chose shopping. We got almost everything done, just a few more things. I can't believe Christmas is next weekend! After shopping we grabbed a little lunch at Chammps then came home to get ready for the Moose Christmas party.
We took Brandon to work at 5:30 then headed down to the Moose, it was packed! We met mom and dad down there.
The flash on my camera is super bright, I couldn't get a good picture with dad and his eyes open.
After we enjoyed a drink, well not really for me, but after a drink we went into the big room where they had everything set up, they had chair covers on every table and beautiful centerpieces, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of those but everything was so nice. Sitting around the table was our desserts.
Aren't they so cute? They are cupcakes and they were yummy.
After dinner they cleared a few tables away and started a live auction, they had a few nice things but nothing to go crazy over, except this beautiful Christmas tree that was all decorated and it came with a few gift certificates. Well, guess what we came home with?? That's right a new Christmas tree, it's a pre-lit one and we've kind of been looking for a new one but didn't thing we'd ever get it. We got it for $150! The tree alone was $100 and the gift certificates we got were all for about $10 and they were to - Red Robin, Applebees, Betty Jane's, Pizza Ranch, Subway (a subway platter) and I can't remember the others.
Here's the tree all set up in our dinning room:
So after the auction the band started playing, it was Johnny Walker and Kevin Beck, they are a 2 man group and they are good! We got some dancing in, but I can tell you I sure missed my buzz. LOL Mom had me out dancing and if you've seen Face Book, you probably seen the video Tom posted! Darn Face Book!
Here are few pics of mom busting a move!
Can you see the foot kick below?. LOL
So about 11:30 we headed home, we knew we had another big day ahead of us Sunday! That's right, today was another big day, we got up about 8:00 got ready for another Christmas gathering, this time at Tom's dad's sisters house, wow that's a mouthful. LOL They live in Colesburg, about an hour away, it was a beautiful day so the roads were great, sometimes we just never know what we're going to get. We did get a little trace of snow Friday night but it's all gone now. Tom's sister, Debbie, had pork, mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans everything was yummy. It's nice seeing everyone this time of year and getting chat with everyone is always nice. I ended up coming home with a baby microwave, I'm not 100% sure what it's called but it's a microwave for bottles and food, its supposed to be safer than a normal microwave. I think I'll have to look into it but I said what the heck, it looks like a nice one.
Here's a pic of the some of us in the living room at Debbie's, she's the one sitting on the ground in the red shirt.
We got home about 4:00 we actually had to go to the Moose to pick up our Christmas tree so the post above with my new tree is what I did tonight along with cleaning out some cabinets. I was hoping for a little help from my hubby but sometimes its just easier doing some things by myself. Here's what he did while I cleaned.
Nice huh?? I did get him up to help with a few things. He took the night off tonight so he could enjoy himself up at Debbie's. I did wake him up for supper, a frozen pizza, and to help Micayla with her financial aide stuff for school. Yep, she starts in January, she's pretty excited I think. Here's a cute one of them:
So that was our weekend, it was a fast one and I know next weekend will be here before we know it.
Here are few random pics that I don't think I got to blog about, it was from the weekend before at our Jazzercise Christmas party, I didn't get to stay long because we had the Hendricks Christmas but I did get a few pictures so I wanted to share.
Here is the table of food:
And below is a plate of food, I had to take a picture of this because someone make an candid apple and sausage or something and it just looked like something that shouldn't be there. LOL
And here's Debbie, I used to work with her at Thermolyne, she's a class manager at Jazzercise and we're trying to get to become an instructor.
And last but not least, I got this from a girl at work, she said she saw this and had to buy it for me and my baby.
After I just got done with these pictures I think I might have posted these already, oh well. I still think I'm so forgetful lately and this is just one of those moments. LOL
