Jeff's Birthday Weekend 2014

Nana and Papa came to visit for Jeff's birthday...at least that is what Bonny tells us! ;-)

When you talk to Madison about what we did over the weekend they came to visit and she'll say...Shop, Shop, Shop!!!

Took her out of school early on Friday to hit the outlet mall. Had to get a bit of shopping done for Madison.  She was okay with that, but first stop was lunch at White Swan BBQ.

Saturday started VERY early by heading to Mark Hewitt Pottery.  To get the good pottery, you have to get there early.  Bonny (and I) did a little Christmas shopping.  There were a few more retail establishments we needed to hit.  One was Home Depot for the Kids' Workshop and we got one more visit with Santa!

Sunday was stay home and get a bit of work done.  With winter just around the corner, the leaves have almost ALL fell off the trees.  Took advantage of the nice afternoon to get a little leaf blowing done.  Jeff uses the big one and Madison helps out with the smaller one. Makes blowing leaves go a bit faster with a little help.

While at the Home Depot, I had picked up a few pieces of extra greenery for any "projects" I would have during the Christmas season.  Got one project completed.  What was left was spread through the yard with the help of my Christmas elf!

Forgot to post in the Thanksgiving blog that Fred now has his own blog for the Christmas season.  To follow Madison's elf, check out Finding Fred the Elf.
