So Thanksgiving was good. Uneventful. We watched the parade.
C takes the parade very seriously. Thanksgiving is his favorite and he was over the moon. There was a section that was seriously all of his favorite things: Grogu, Peanuts, Astronaut Snoopy, More Star Wars, McDonald's, Lego and Disney Cruise Line. He literally jumped for joy for ten minutes.
Friday we decorated. I honestly kept things super minimal this year. The Nativity. The Advent Wreath. Our Tree. My Nativity Garland. I am really feeling minimal Christmas. I don't know why exactly, it's not a Scroogey kind of thing, I just feel like the Christmas clutter will be too much for me this year.
Saturday we went to the Festival of Trees. Which was fun enough.
Here is the up close ornament. And per the bookmark ornament, this was his favorite "room" decoration at the festival.
It's kind of crazy! Calvin and Hobbes has been sneaking up everywhere lately. Even Fr.'s homily yesterday!
Then later on Saturday night we went to the opening night of the light show we like to go to. It was perfect!! We had a great spot and it wasn't busy.
And we enjoyed it!! Hopefully, you had an enjoyable holiday weekend and your Monday is off to a great start!
What a lovely weekend! I,too, am feeling a less is more mentality this year. However, the kids are like "No! You have to put out all the nutcrackers! It's tradition." So, out came alllllllllll the nutcrackers. I remember my mom used to put them out every year and one year she didn't. I couldn't understand why. I was in my late 20s so she kindly gifted them to me and now 25 years later, I understand! :)
