Friday night took us downtown to Nationwide Arena to watch the BlueJackets take on The Rangers, (we won, btw) Jeff and two of his brothers were off to schmooze in AEP’s corporate box, so Mariah and I took our tickets for a gals night… great game, bookend-ed by drinks at Gordon Beirsch made for a great Friday evening.
Every year the female contingent of our family here in Ohio spends the Saturday before Thanksgiving kicking off (and in some cases completely finishing) their Christmas shopping. Due the fact that until a few months ago I lived in Oregon I’ve never been able to partake in the Heitkamp Ladies Shopping Day.
This year, I was all in. We started the morning with everyone converging on my sister in law’s to game plan our day, then as all mornings start, we hit Starbucks for our liquid energy and we were off… Target, Toys R’ Us, Hobby Lobby (LOVEEEE Hobby Lobby), fast stop for lunch, then back at it, Kohls & ended at the Polaris Fashion Place Mall.
Largely, I was along for the ride, as Jeff and I plan on utilizing the fine folks of Amazon for the bulk of our Christmas shopping so we don’t have to schlepp gifts back to Portland with us, or mess around with shipping. Christmas decorations & household decor on the other hand… We’re finally to to the point that we’re ready to start decorating here, so the timing of a girls day at Hobby Lobby was just about perfect. I can’t wait to start decorating for Christmas, which will take place much to Jeff’s chagrin next Sunday, when we get back from our Thanksgiving celebration at his parents.
Sunday our littlest nephew and God son Connor turned one, so we all converged on Greg and Meredith’s to celebrate the little dude, whom when presented with his little cake to smash was just not quite sure what we wanted him to do with it.
We wrapped up the weekend again in front of the fireplace, winding down from a busy weekend with family, and gearing up for the week ahead, which, according to all the notes I have, is going to include a bazillion pounds of potatoes, as I gear up for side dishes for Thanksgiving at our friends home, and then the family Thanksgiving in Fort Recovery this coming weekend.
