The girls and I had our second first whole weekend with daddy working 36 hours in 3 days. We kept super busy so it flew by but we missed daddy at the fun events. Friday morning Linnea had tumbling and then we got her haircut for the holidays! We went on a little evening walk before supper, shows and waiting for daddy to come home.

Saturday morning I scrambled around the house packing up stuff for our day and night at grandma and papa's. We stopped at the Central Library to see the Zoomobile on our way to Woodbury. We had lunch with my parents and then wanted to visit GG but turns out there is flu-like illness going around GG's floor (and she actually had it on Friday) so us girls headed back to my parents so Linnea could nap before our fun evening.

Our fun evening was dinner with my aunts, uncles and cousins and then heading to Woodbury Lakes Shopping Center's Holiday Open House. That's kind of a mouthful :) We have been going to this the last three years and I absolutely LOVE it! The weather was soooo much warmer this year than the years past so it was much busier and we didn't get to ride the reindeer drawn sleigh, BUT we did get pictures with Frosty and Rudolph, danced to the Okee Dokee Brothers, ate mini donuts, welcomed Santa and saw an amazing fireworks show set to Christmas music.

After all the festivities we headed back to my parents for our sleepover. Linnea crawled into uncle Bob's chair and he read two bedtime stories to her.
Harper smiled and almost giggled for my mom.
All those smiles and near giggling was hard work! Goodnight!
Sunday we made lefse! Cheryl and Dwight and their kids came out to help...it still took all day but we love doing it and carrying on such a special and delicious tradition :)
