This weekend has been fun. 

This morning, we went to Mass. The girls love to go to church and do really great sitting still and being quiet. They aren't perfect, don't read it that way! But they do a great job for 3 year olds. And they are picking up on a lot of stuff. Father is talking about Jesus. We sing Alleluia. And we put money in the basket. 

I forgot to mention this yesterday. When the girls were opening their presents, they got money from a couple people. And when they saw the money, they both yelled "money for church!" it was awesome! Definitely one of those moments where I feel like I am doing something right. And continuing on the right-ness, we are taking the chicks to Toys R Us this week so they can buy whatever they want with their money. 

Back to today! After Mass, we had lunch and visited with my Ma. Then we left to go to a birthday party and Ma headed home to MO. It is supposed to snow there tomorrow, so we had a super short visit. But the girls loved having her here for their party. and I loves having my mommy for a little while.

The party we went to was for my friend's youngest boys first birthday. They were at P and Ks party on Saturday! So we had a fun birthday weekend with the P family! And the girls loved watching little J get the attention they got yesterday. And who doesn't love cake two days in a row?!

We also decided to celebrate Thanksgiving with the P family. We discovered we had both planned on cooking the whole meal for our little families. Well, honestly i was considering boycotting the whole day. The thought of having a repeat of last year was not a good thought. But we are going to celebrate together instead. fun! After the girls went to bed, I went to the store and got everything I needed for the big meal. Well, almost everything. I will have to go for the commissary and hope they have the one thing I still need. 

 You know, I have to say, there is something so great about your mom telling you that you are doing a good job. We are never too old for some parental pride. Ma saying I am a good homemaker and mommy really makes my heart happy. 

Good weekend.
