On Black Friday, we slept in but then got out and joined the shoppers seeking deals. I won't say we nabbed the most killer bargains, but the day after Thanksgiving is always a great day to start off your Christmas shopping.
After a couple of stores, we got lunch and then went over to the mall for some more shopping. Cora and Violet took a break at the playground, and visited one of the bear sculptures.
That evening, Stace and Cora went to the monthly Family Night at Top Out Climbing, an indoor climbing gym.
They had a great time, and got a great workout. Both came home in pain - Cora from a blister that developed and then popped, and Stace from overall achiness.
On Saturday, Violet and I went to a birthday party for our friend Casey's son Carter, who was turning 1. We got to catch up with them, and with Kelly and Linda. Violet enjoyed being the oldest kiddo, and she loved playing basketball. She's never really played before, but she had so much fun, shouting out whenever she got a basket. "Twelve! That's 12 now! Thirteen!" I think she might have reached 25 before we left.
Meanwhile, Stace and Cora were cooking up a storm. They made a fabulous dinner, and prepared a breakfast casserole for the next morning.
Additionally, Cora made a lemon cake, and she made brownies that she took to her church small group Sunday morning.
She was beaming when we came to get her from her Sunday School room - the other children loved her brownies!
