Today is Cameron’s 25th birthday. He is working at Arrowhead today with Lauren, so we had to run to KC and celebrate with him last night. Jim and I took Cameron out for dinner and then we met up with Lauren for cake. We were enjoying visiting with them so much that we lost track of time, and ended up getting g home pretty late! I guess we are party animals! Of course, I spent the whole day today feeling tired and sort of “off” so it might prove that we are getting too old to be party animals!
I am very proud of Cameron. He is rocking out in an adult job, dating a girl we all love, working a second job, paying his own bills, and still finds time to give us all crap! He also has a lot of pretty funny stories from his jobs, and I enjoy hearing about the insanity! We love you Cameron! I hope your day was amazing!
Lauren took Cameron out for his birthday Friday night. I was sort of surprised that he wanted to go see Moana 2! I think his sisters and nieces are getting to him!
Today, we had Sunday lunch so that Madison and Andrew could attend his company Christmas party this evening. The girls stayed with us while they were gone. I had the brilliant idea of having the girls help us decorate for Christmas. The almost 6 year old did a good job being careful and helping us figure out where to put stuff. By tree number 2 - she was over it. I put up 4 trees and she told me she needed a snack and a movie!
The 17 month old is never out of energy! She “helped” me the entire night. I also had to take Advil when they left from lifting her off the table, off the couch, off the coffee table, off the …. Well you understand. She is a maniac!
I have been wanting a bigger tree for a couple of years. I keep meaning to hit the after holiday sales, but when they roll around I’m usually over it. Then, when I set up, I wish I would have done it! I looked at a few sales recently, but just couldn’t make myself buy them. I was talking to Grace Friday, and she told me that James had all sorts of trees and he would happily give me a 7.5 foot tree. It’s bigger than what I had, and it was free! Whoop whoop! So on our way to meet Cameron yesterday, I stopped off at Grace’s and picked up this pretty tree! I really love it! I have a few more adjustments to make, and I am currently washing the tree skirts, but I love how it looks! Thanks James and Grace!
I had fun hanging out with the girls! We ended up watching a Christmas movie with the lights off and the tree lights going. I have way more stuff I want to do, but sometimes, you just gotta take a little moment to enjoy an evening. My house is completely trashed, my decorations are in boxes all over the place, my main tree looks good, but the rest need some touching up. But my heart is happy!
