Decorating, guests and more weekend fun

What a weekend! Quite busy indeed.

Thursday was obviously Thanksgiving, we had a great time watching the parade and stuffing our faces, haha.

Bring on the mint dark chocolate M&Ms lol ;

Friday we actually did venture out, mainly because we needed groceries for our guests we were having over on Saturday. I also had heard about a great deal on TOMS at our Whole Foods Market. Lastly we went to Target for some decor items. The rest of the day we ate leftovers,  decorated and relaxed. Oh and lots of online shopping lol!  Got about 75% of our gift getting done!

Took the autumn wreath I made, removed the leaf garlands, added a 15' length of gold tinsel 

Saturday we had my mom's cousins over. It was fun to see them again and we had yummy mushroom beef (recipe here) and asparagus (also here) and more. We picked up another gift (nabbed a new video game for 12 bucks, huzzah!) and had some nice family time relaxing and cuddling a whole bunch.

Passed out with his butt in the air lol

post-bath

Sunday we made it to church. The first Sunday of Advent is always exciting, the sermon was great, and the young girl who sings, sang an absolutely gorgeous song, I seriously want a recording of her singing it lol.... we also picked out a Christmas ornament from the church tree with a 4 year old's name to buy gifts for, excited to start this tradition with Andrew! Then it was also a Family First weekend so Jesse played kickball (and won) with other adults and older kids from the church.

Later we did some grocery shopping and a Target run/ got a Subway sandwich for the first time in ages, haha.

P.s. I can finally tell y'all about our super secret activities! We randomly signed hubby and baby up for a modeling competition for a one-year contract. They had to do an interview, runway walk and photo shoot (both made it through round one and nabbed digital portfolios). And about a week ago they competed in the state wide finals doing talent and runway (Jesse did Capoeira and baby just got carried around to music haha). We got the results today and..... they both won!!! I'm so proud of them!

Next step is a call to their agents, sending in their signed contracts, making the call cards and then we start looking for jobs! They told us to call Pampers for Andrew so maybe he'll be auditioning for them someday soon?

Little man is just packin' away the food and sidling along anything he can stand up with, he's going to be walking too soon. Can't believe he's almost a year old already!!!
