Working for the weekend

Best weekend ever! Saturday, we had a professional photographer come and do a photo shoot of the girls on our property. The pictures are absolutely amazing. They are both growing up so fast and such beautiful young ladies, inside and out.

After the photo shoot, we did some cleaning, napping, tv watching, video game playing, card playing, and just hanging out as a family together. Then, to end the day with a bang, Jay fixed chicken and dumplings with rice and biscuits for dinner. Delicious!

Sunday was another awesome day with perfect, late autumn weather. And, for some unknown reason, other than they love each other a lot, Abigale decided that today was going to be "Hannah's Best Day Ever". So, she made her eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast; gave her a full body massage, painted her nails and rubbed lotion on her; played games with her all day; built a tent in the play room and did pretty much anything else Hannah wanted to do, all day long!

Then, I took the girls to PetSmart to pick up some pet supplies and then we went to 7-11 and got Slurpies and a snack. When we got back, Jay and I listened to old classic-rock upstairs for about an hour while the girls made cookies in the Easy-Bake Oven. Then, because it was "Hannah's Best Day Ever" Day, we let Hannah pick dinner, which was chili dogs with baked beans and ice cream for dessert.

We just finished watching the Grinch and now Hannah is tucked in for the night, ready to start her new week tomorrow. Jay and I are relaxing with the dogs and Abigale is reading in her room. I'm ready to start this short 3-day week and enjoy a fabulous Thanksgiving with my family. Life really is good. :)
