Packed Weekend!

Last Thursday night we headed up to Grand Rapids for the weekend. Curt had plans to golf and see a Tigers game with our friend Derek on Friday. While he was gone doing that, Ben and I went to the mall and out to lunch with my parents. He had Chinese food for the first time and said his favorite part of the meal was, "The cookies and mints." :)

My brother Jacob graduated from high school this year and his open house was on Sunday. We helped my family get ready for that over the course of the weekend. We decided to stay until Monday morning, so that we didn't feel like we had to leave the party early. And I wanted to help clean-up because those things can be a big mess! It was nice to visit with friends and relatives that I have not seen in a long time.

I did a really bad job of getting the camera out, so there are just a few pictures to recap the weekend (most of them are courtesy of Curt).

 Curt took this picture with his phone at the Tigers game on Friday night.
 On Saturday night, Curt, Ben, my dad, and brother Jacob went to see some local fireworks. The area "Cutlerville Days" were going on and my aunt and uncle have a front row seat to the fireworks in their front yard.
 Ben loved the fireworks, but said some of them were really loud.



 Jacob, all set for his open house to begin. (My pictures all turned out dark/blurry for some reason).
 Pictures and things for the guests to look through at the open house.
When we got home on Monday, Curt checked our strawberry patch and we had a ton of ripe strawberries! I'm glad the birds didn't eat them while we were gone. We enjoyed them with some watermelon my mom sent home with us.

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
