One Last Christmas Celebration

We had one more Christmas celebration this past weekend.  Luke's mom and step-dad made a trip out to Sioux Falls so we could celebrate a late Christmas together. 

Jean and Mark didn't get into town until dinner time Friday night, so Luke and I decided to take them to one of our favorite Sioux Falls restaurants - Bracco's.  We ended up waiting a lot longer for a table than anticipated, but it was worth it because our dinner was delicious (as always!) 

I have been working SO HARD on sleep training with Jameson, so getting home much later than we had originally expected and far past his "normal" bed time made me a little nervous.  He has been doing so well with nap time and calming himself to sleep that I was afraid I had just backtracked all my hard work...  But, to my surprise, Mr. J fell right asleep when we got home.

Saturday morning we celebrated Christmas and played for a while.

We then got everyone ready and set out to bum around Sioux Falls (well until nap time).  Jean and Mark really wanted to see Luke's store, so we made a trip to Target (ps - all the Christmas merchandise went 90% clearance, so it was a great day to make a Target run)  We then decided to head to lunch and by the time we were all full Jameson was ready for his afternoon nap.  Jean and I headed back to the house while the boys decided they wanted to go test drive some cars (Jean and Mark are looking to buy a new car in the near future)

That evening, Jean and Mark were so gracious to watch Jameson for a little while so Luke and I could head out for a little date :-)  It was wonderful!  We ended up just going to dinner, but it was great to get some time alone and have a few great adult conversations!  (Thanks Grandma and Grandpa)

Sunday morning came oh so quickly (as usual) and before we knew it, our weekend together was over.  Luke and I decided we were going to have a relaxing day Sunday, so all three of us stayed in our PJ's, watched TV, played with all the new toys and all snugged together. 

It was a wonderful weekend and thank you Grandma and Grandpa Gunderson for all the wonderful presents! 

Love,
Abby
