the joy's and blessing's of having a long weekend!

Our long weekend was so good for many reasons! My sister Jaime came out for the weekend, she was suppose to go to a youth retreat but fell at work so she had a mild concussion and she threw her back out. On Friday we just lounged around in the evening and watched movies and played with Hayden, Saturday we again did hardly anything! On Saturday evening we had our tradtion of having pizza and watching the hockey game. This week's pizza was TACO PIZZA!! It was so yummy!! It had refried beans, seasoned hamburger, onion's, peppers, lettuce, sourcream and salsa on it! I was actually impressed with how much I liked it, I ususally don't really like anything that has too do with Mexican food, but this I liked! Oh, and I added jalepeno's for Adrian!

 On Sunday my parents suprised us by coming out for the night! It was so much fun! We ordered pizza and chicken, then we went to Adrian and Randy's (Jaime's Boyfriend) hockey game! We then came home set up our beds in the living room and watched Gullivers Travels! Such a blast, and it's a cute movie! And today, we went sledding down Perry's hill here in Arborg! We took Hayden with us, and he did NOT like it, he cried everytime we went down the hill, I guess it didn't help that we were screaming when we went down! Hayden seems to be very senstive when it comes to screaming or when it looks like someone is getting hurt. I know that there will be times when Adrian and I are play fighting and he'll start crying, or one time Randy pushed Jaime in the snow and Hayden freaked! So, lately we have been more senstive about his feelings. Anyways, back to the day. In the evening we went to the grocery store and picked up groceries for supper! We had bbq'd steak, chicken, potato salad, fettuchine alfredo ( thanks to Alyssa's reciepe), and buns, and for dessert coffee and strawberry cheesecake! It was so yummy! Today, I realized how bless I was to have the family I do, we have been through some crappy times but in the end we still love and forgive each other. I love them so much, and being 2 hours aways from them makes the time we do have together so much better and so precious!  Thank you God!

Oh, and this is the snowman I made for Hayden when he was napping! I'll introduce them tomorrow! :)
