Our friend Katie, celebrated her birthday on Friday night and we went over to her house for games and snacks. Funny thing, we never played games, instead just chatted the evening away. Saturday, we went to the Country Rose Tea Room for our friend Rachel's baby shower. She is expecting Hunter Dec. 31st and this will be her third, she has 18 month old twins. That evening, the girls decided to go to dinner and do a little shopping at the mall. We ate at Red Robin in the mall and as soon as we finished, we started to walk around, only to find that the mall was closing at 8pm. Can you believe that a mall would close at 8pm on a Saturday? I was so shocked. I guess I'm used to the malls in Houston.
Sunday was spent home doing a lot of nothing. Mason still had a bit of a runny nose and I didn't want to get any of the other kids in the church nursery sick, and since Adam & I both were still recovering, we decided to stay home. It was cold and rainy outside, so it made for a perfect day to watch football and take a nap.
This week, I have been busy organizing and getting all of our stuff together for our trip. Our flight leaves LA at 6:30am and I was planning on just shipping home a couple of boxes of our things, but I learned that it would just be cheaper to pay to check the luggage instead. Since I purchased our tickets before the policy changed in September, our first checked bag will be free. I'm hoping that Adam will be able to get an escort pass to help me get through security with Mason and help us onto the plane. I can't wait to see everyone. We will be home in 3 days!
