Last Saturday my mom and dad came over for some Christmas baking.
Brynn and Grandpa had gotten a game of dominoes going.
Then Brynn brought the totes of Dana's old toys up and they had a blast playing with those.
Meanwhile, Grandma was running solo trying to crank out spritz cookies with my ancient press.
Auntie Christel had driven up mid-baking as aunt Elaine and Dana's parents were coming on Sunday to visit before Elaine flew back home to Colorado. More dominoes!
The other night Brynn had her box of old artwork and school projects and such out. It's always fun to look back at all the things she made when she was little. This gem popped up. We got a good chuckle out of it. I don't even remember her making that one.
Last night Dana's co-worker friend and his wife had invited us to the Home Free concert at the Scheels arena. We first went out to eat at the Blarney Stone. I had never heard of Home Free prior to receiving our invitation. I tried to look them up on YouTube to see what type of music they do, but I wasn't really sure if what I had found was them or not. Then aunt Cindy posted one of their YouTube videos on Facebook stating they were here fav a capella group. I love a capella music, so then I was really excited for the show. They were fantastic. They are primarily a country group, so they did a lot of country cover songs, but they do have songs of their own as well. And they peppered in some Christmas tunes too. It was really fun.
We had commissioned Grandpa and Grandma Dietz to watch the girls while we went out. They hit up DQ for dinner before heading to Frozen II!
They knew my parents were coming to babysit them, but they didn't know my parents had planned to take them to the movie. The girls have really wanted to see it, so they were pretty excited when they found out they were going.

Our Christmas vacation has officially begun! Yahoo! We'll celebrate Christmas with just the four of us before heading back West to have Christmas with my side. We have our bucket list drawn up and plotted out when we plan on getting everything done, so I'll try to post as we check things off the list.
Merry Christmas!
