So yesterday we got up early and drove into town to pick up Samanthas Mom......we took her to Parentlink where Samantha works....it wa s agreat party atmosphere with Christmas crafts and cookie decorating, songs and everyone ina happy excited mood :)
I got a drink for Josie (Samanthas mom) and for the lady she was sat with (another Grandma) and they chatted for a couple of hours while we played, read books, and generally enjoyed the morning.
Samantha wasn't doing too good - she has arthritis in her knees which is bad enough, but yesterday morning she fell down the steps in her garage and her knee had swollen up :( she really looked in agony but was still at work!!!!
After parentlink we went to the mall and Josie went off to do a little Christmas shopping. We went to Chapters for Abigails Chickadee magazine and then we went and had some lunch at the food court. We each had an ice cream too :)
Then we went to look at a few things that Josie was thinking of getting Samantha.....but we couldn't decide which to get, so she remembered a store that she wanted to go back to - Homesense! Well I love any excuse to go there...so we went there and I found some wooden clothes hangers which Lloyd has been looking for, so I got those....
After that we went to Greenland garden centre for a stroll around the gifts store and the Christmas section......then by this time it was 3:30pm so I dropped Josie home and raced back to my house, soaked in the bath and then got dressed for the school Advent Pageant.....
Lloyd got home late so he got home about 10 minutes before we had to race out of the door for the pageant. Chris babysat Sam, and the rest of us headed off to the school.
The pageant was so wonderful - my children have been to a lot of different schools and we have experienced a lot of concerts but this one was wonderful - WOW!!!! the choreography and lighting and singing....well, just WOW!!!!!!
We got home around 9pm and Lloyd watched Family Man while I looked at the pictures etc taken at the concert!
This morning up early for breakfast at Esso with Val and her DD and her Grandson and of course Vals youngest too.....it was quite a short breakfast as we all had places to go, people to see lol but was a nice chance to say hello :)
Well, I guess I should go and pack away the things we bought today.
Have a great evening!
