Weekend rundown...

Pretty boring post, but here's what we did....

Friday:

I left work promptly at 5:00, ran home to get my workout clothes and went to the gym. Did Body Step with my good friend Rene.. and had some seriously sore calves by the end of the hour. (Body Step is not one of my regulars, but I LOVE it).
Went back home to get James and Kaitlyn and went to Wal-mart to get Kaitlyn a princess dress for a birthday party she was going to on Saturday.
Had a nice, healthy dinner from Arby's. Riiight.
Went home and watched Kaitlyn's new Leap Frog video. She was addicted to her Leap Letter Factory video and learned all the letters and their sounds pretty quickly, so we thought it was time for an upgrade to the "Storybook Factory." 2 years old is not too early to learn how to read, right? :) It's a cute video none the less.

Saturday:

Got up and made some biscuits for James and Kaitlyn - and I went back to the gym for more Body Step. I tell you that place is so addicting.
Came home and got Kaitlyn all ready for her friend Emma's princess birthday party. Kaitlyn looked so cute in her dress and tiara. I need to be better about posting pictures.
Emma's parents went all out for this party. Their house was decorated so cute and there were fun games in every room: duck pond in the bathtub, magic carpet rides, face painting, crown decorating...
The best part about it was - all the parents left! We totally expected to stay and join in the festivities - but she had it all planned so the parents could go out and enjoy a morning of Xmas shopping, or whatever else... how fun is that?! (That hour and a half went by WAY too fast)
We picked Kaitlyn up and took her home for a nap.

James went to the Abilene High/Pierce basketball game. Our friend Justin Reese coaches for Pierce, so he and his wife Hollie and their precious daughter Riley were in town. He had fun seeing him and a bunch of other people that went out to support Justin!

When he got back, it was off to get more Christmas shopping done! We went to Toys R Us and took turns watching Kaitlyn and picking stuff out for her. We had so much fun! We, or Santa, ended up with an awesome doll house, the Dora version of Candyland, a pink baby doll (that is the only thing she has asked for), and some dog who's nose actually gets cold when it gives you kisses. (James picked this one out.) We also got her some "big girl underwear" - James hates the other word. My goal is to have this girl potty trained by New Years. I have one whole week off of work, so that is my plan. Wish me luck!
For dinner Saturday night we went to James's favorite - Texas Roadhouse. Yummy.

Sunday:

Kaitlyn had a hard time getting ready for church on Sunday. She's lazy like her Mommy in the mornings. I mean, who really wants to put a dress on at 8:00 in the morning?
After church, we were invited to Jim and Jody Reese's house to join their family for lunch. This was probably the highlight of our weekend. It was so much fun to be a part of that awesome family for just a couple of hours. James and I enjoyed visiting with Justin and Hollie - and Kaitlyn always loves going somewhere new to see what she can get into.

After lunch all the Reese boys came over to our house to play poker. They chose our house so that Kaitlyn could take a nap while I did some more shopping. That didn't work out so well. No nap for Kaitlyn! But James was the big poker winner so that was nice!

We ended the weekend with our small group and dinner at Joe's. I didn't cook all weekend! Wait.... I never cook.

Monday morning - back at work. Campus is dead b/c all the students are gone for 5 weeks of Christmas break. So, it's pretty quiet around here.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe weekend!
