My Busy Life

Long time no post...so let's see. We are ending a week long vacation that seemed like it just started yesterday.
Here is it play by play:
  • Saturday- Holiday Parade in downtown Roseville. We rode on my school's float. Madison loved waving at all the people along the route. Then Saturday night we went and played at the new part of the mall with Jaylan.
  • Sunday-Lots of Christmas shopping. Got about 1/2 way done! Then went to church.
  • Monday- We delivered holiday baskets full of food to families in need from my school. Madison had so much fun handing out the desserts (cookies and pumpkin pie) It was so good for her to be involved in helping others. Then we headed to John's Incredible Pizza for dinner Philip and Gabriella.


  • Tuesday-We headed to the story time at the library. We planned to go to the park afterwards, but Madison, Sophia and Philip had so much fun playing in the area in front of the library we ended up staying there for 1 1/2 hours to "play."

  • Wednesday-LAZY DAY!!! Loved it! We did our Christmas card photo with Madison and Mickey~after about 100 pictures we got one! Saw the new Madagascar-cute!
    • Thursday- Went to my mom's for Thanskgiving dinner. She had her tree out so we saw a photo op!


    • Friday- Braved the crowds for Black Friday- Madison and my mom joined me. Got some good stuff.

    • Saturday-got our tree and got our holiday stuff out! House looks great!
    • Sunday-Slept in! WOO WHOO! Even Madison slept in until 9! Then went to play at the Fountains, had lunch and Madison rode the train!

    What a jam packed week!
