So 30 Has Arrived...

And of course, I don't feel any different. It was a wonderful weekend! It started on Friday night, when I brought the kids to my parent's house for the night and Eric and I had a date night. So nice and quiet. And just to further the notion of the fact that we are getting old, we were asleep by 10:30, right after watching the news. Oh goodness, we do sound old! But it was a great night nonetheless.

Saturday we finished up Christmas shopping for the kiddies before picking them up. So excited about that. When we got home, I got to open my birthday gift. There had been a small box on the buffet for the last few days, wrapped with wrapping from the store that he works at, so I of course figured jewelry. But turns out, it was just a memory card for this baby...

As soon as I saw the memory card, I was asking "where is it?" LoL. So he comes in with the camera, a carrying bag and some other accessories. I had been asking for this for Christmas, but he wanted to make it a birthday gift so that we could get pics of all the Christmas festivities. Sigh. I was pretty excited to say the least. I spent some time reading up on it, but there are so many features I was a little overwhelmed. I can take a basic pic and I guess that's good enough for now. So, anyway, here are a few of the pics that I've taken. On Sunday, we went to church, out for lunch and the local Christmas parade, then home to put together a gingerbread house.
I had a few others to share, but blogger won't allow it. So anyway, I love this thing. And Christmas card pics will be retaken, hopefully this afternoon because I really need to get busy!

And I can't forget to give a HUGE shoutout to my CJ/blog/2Peas girls! Oh my goodness. They each made me a LOST themed page for my birthday. I was so excited looking through everyone's page. You girls rock. Thank you all so very much! Have a great Monday everyone!! :)
