Long Weekend Recap


We were so grateful to have a four-day weekend with lots of fun family time and some great times with good friends. Raking and blowing leaves were one of the big projects we tackled this weekend. We love our yard and love our trees, but this is the time of year when it's hard to remember why!

See if you can locate Brennan in this picture!


It was also time to appease the littles and set up the Christmas tree! There is a rather large fascination with Christmas lights, so getting the tree set up and decorated was one of the highlights for the weekend for the boys.


 

  
We capped off the weekend with a visit to Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens for their Garden Fest of Lights with some dear friends. For little boys that love Christmas lights, this was a perfect outing for them! There were Christmas lights everywhere in the garden, including some pretty impressive light sculptures. Our favorite was a giant dragon over the path that you walked through! There was also an entire room of model trains that I wasn't quite sure we'd ever get Owen out of. It was a great way to cap off the Thanksgiving weekend and get us ready for the Christmas season.
