On Friday after Thanksgiving, the Freeman's headed back to Arkansas. We ran a few errands and did a bit of (non) Black Friday shopping. Home Depot and the Richardson Mercantile weren't really crowded, and we found a few gifts. Lincoln and Beau can really find fun in almost any situation, and it's sometimes overlooked by a busy mom. Thankfully, we took a few moments to enjoy the security camera/monitor while checking out at Home Depot. Super silly faces and tons of giggles, and Mom had to take a picture! (No one was waiting in line behind us, so we could take our time at the self check line.)
We got busy decorating the house for Christmas, and by Saturday evening it was pretty much done. Side note: We keep thinking of new things that are "the best thing about the new house." The shower in the master bathroom that never loses pressure or lowers in temperature, the cedar sauna turned giant cedar storage closet, the view of the pool lit up in the evening, the oven that heats up slowly but cooks way more evenly than our old gas oven, etc. While decorating for Christmas, the best thing about the new house really revealed itself. WALK-IN ATTIC!!! It was so easy to just step into the spacious attic and peruse the boxes and bins with decorations and trees. Only the items wanted were carried downstairs in small loads and put out right away. We assembled and decorated 5 trees (Lincoln totally decorated the 3 upstairs and made some $$ for helping) and put out all other indoor decor. (Nothing on the exterior of the house this year. We just haven't lived here long enough to decide how we want that to look. Next year!) Having two little helpers (mostly just Lincoln though) was great, but the fact that Minnie had already gone back to Arkansas was definitely noticed. She has a multitude of talents, but one of her best skills is definitely sweeping. Seriously, she's the best sweeper ever. All of the little bristles in the floor had to deal with a less capable sweeper to wrangle them into the dustpan after the tree was set up. #comebackMinnie
We also did some reading, and Lincoln was always happy about that. Snuggled up in pjs with a book; we take turns reading each page. Still love the Berenstain Bears, but DC Super Pets is coming on strong!
One more major event for this long holiday weekend is next! The fun never ends!

I just want you to know that this man: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011190091446&fref=ts is using your child's picture and trying to pass it off as his own child. The profile was actually made by a mentally unstable woman who lives in my town that has made a fake boyfriend (the profile I pasted) and scours the internet for children's photos to use and pass off as her and this boyfriend's children. Her name is jerikoal pressler. Her profile picture is the one of her in a white shirt with a dog. If you would like to report this here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/help/383420348387540
I have reported this many times and have contacted as many parents such as yourself with the information as I could get ahold of. Good luck!
