Weekend Away

Our friends the Buddies invited us for a weekend away with all of the kids.  We went to a cabin in the mountains and had a great time.

 There were plenty of games and building with blocks and a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.

 We took the kids to see the Santa Symphony downtown.  The usher flustered me because we got there just before the show started.  I didn't get the kids as settled as usual and so they weren't quite as cooperative for the concert as usual.  Luckily, as soon as Santa came out they were totally mesmerized.  They symphony played all Christmas music with three vocalist.  O Holy Night was especially beautiful.

 The was plenty of reading.

 The Buddies made houses out of rice crispie treats for the kids to decorate.  The girls loved it.

 

 We spent a little time on mainstreet.  We had carmel apples from my favorite chocolate factory.

It is so fun that our kids are such great little friends.  There is nothing better than great friends!
