Christmas #1




Saturday was a busy day for the Vescapades family. It started with dance class at 9am, where I met Sara at the coffee shop/book store for some chit chat while Evie danced. After that, we all headed to Seward for Christmas with my stepmom's family. We haven't been to the Bennett Christmas for years, so it was nice to get together with everyone (even if I heard some of the relatives call Obama a Socialist. Seriously?? I guess those people really are out there.).

Later in the evening, the kids stayed at Grandma's while Colby and I headed to Crete for a party at his boss's house. It seemed like it would be a great time until 10 or 12 people started smoking in the house. That was our cue to leave. I didn't want to be rude, but I cannot physically handle the smoke. We left Crete and headed back to Lincoln for a little shopping.

Sunday morning Colby and I slept in and had a wonderful brunch at Green Gateau. Then we headed out for a little more shopping. We went to Seward to pick up the kids, came home and cleaned, and then spent the rest of the evening playing with the huge slot car track Colby bought for himself. It takes up the entire free floor space in the boys' room, and I'm sure it will be the cause of many disputes this week during daycare. Soren is addicted to it because she can drive the cars herself. The boys will probably break the track during one of their ninja battles. Good thing I saved the receipt.
