5 on Friday

1. I had the whole week off! Although there was not much 'vacation' aspect of it, I got a lot done!

2. Including all of our Christmas shopping! Nick and I spent Tuesday shopping. He is a very good shopping partner and lists from others make it SO much easier.

3. Last Sunday my mom, sister and I made a day trip to IKEA in MN! It was a successful trip (with a van load of purchases) and a lot of fun. Thanks, Mom!

4. Ellie's new thing is having friends over to her house. She asks for them all the time! Last Saturday her friends Gracie and Lucie came over, Tuesday night Sophia and Baby (Collin), and yesterday Ruby (and Izzy, Ally and Sammy) stopped by. I told her today was just Mommy, Daddy and Ellie--- she looked a little disappointed. Mommy and Daddy must not be enough fun for her.

5. Yesterday we enjoyed Thanksgiving at my mom and dad's house. 32 of us total! Ellie has a blast playing with her cousins. So much so she skipped nap. This meant she slept in this morning. Good thing we were done with our shopping and didn't need to be anywhere at 7AM (or midnight or 10PM last night).

Thanksgiving Extra: On Tuesday Ellie slept in... we didn't wake her up because we didn't have to go anywhere at a certain time and could drop her off at day-care whenever. We learned that letting her sleep in on day-care days is not a good thing, as she opted to not take a nap and instead throw books at the other kids that were sleeping--- thus waking them up. Let's just say it was not a good day at day-care.
