We had a fantastic Christmas themed weekend. On Friday night we kicked off the festivities by taking a trip to a new outdoor light experience. While Scott stayed home with Friend, the boys and I explored and oohed over all of the gorgeous light displays in the park. I was expecting the park to be busy but was happily surprised to find the pedestrian flow steady but not overwhelming. As we meandered through the winter wonderland we rarely ran into another group of people.
I worked on Saturday until mid afternoon. When I finally logged off, I baked cookies with the boys and watched Christmas movies on the couch. To the disappointment of both Friend and Timmy, it was too windy to do much outside. Saturday evening Robby dressed and attended his first high school dance.
Seeing him dressed in his crisp suit and red tie, I was awestruck by how handsome he has become. I had no doubt that my little Koopa had (somehow) grown up. I thought I would be heartbroken, but instead I found myself welling with pride and excitement. I eagerly watched the clock until the dance was over, eager to hear about the experience. My heart leapt when I saw his smile. He had a fantastic time at the dance with his friends.
Sunday was spent working and baking. I made two types of cookies and a red velvet cake. (I used the recipe for Scott's favorite childhood cake. He hasn't had it in nearly 8 years and was almost overwhelmed when he tasted the first bite.)
Today we are back to work, although gingerbread houses may (definitely) be in our future this evening.
