Weekend Wrap-Up

 We enjoyed a lazy, rainy start to our weekend.  Friday Kase had a birthday party in Des Moines so Kent and Kael dropped him off then went out for dinner and found a spot to play pool.

Meanwhile, I took Kylee and a few friends to Target to shop to fill the Operation Christmas boxes for church.  These girls were in the holiday spirit with their festive pajama pants and holiday drinks from Starbucks.

We came back to our house to pack boxes, make Christmas cookies and listen to Christmas music.  It was just the night Kylee needed.

Saturday morning Kael left for an overnight youth group retreat and the rest of us had a lazy morning here.  Later Kase had a basketball tournament and Kent took Kylee and her boyfriend to the Iowa State football game. They had the best time! The rain cleared off just in time and they got to go in the Jack Trice Club area which made the experience even more fun.

Meanwhile Kase and his buddies were having a great tournament!

Oh, Kase.  This kid brings such a fun energy to the game.

One of his other buddies came to watch them play.

Champs!

Kase and I got dinner with friends after then came home and watched the World Series with Kent.  Kylee hung out with Garrett.

Sunday after church Kylee and I got to work on Christmas decorating! She wanted to help do it and she's so busy with not much free time so today was the best day we could do it together even though it's much earlier than I usually put my tree up.  We got Starbucks holiday drinks then spent the whole afternoon making the house festive! Kent was a huge help doing all the heavy lifting and Kase was playing with friends- it was such a nice day out.  Kael had gotten home from his retreat and had a great time then he took off shortly after he got home for work!

Later Kylee's boyfriend came over. It was so nice out so I took them for a walk in my parents backyard. So fun! I think Kylee and Garrett had a great time.

Meanwhile Kase and his friends had a fierce pickleball competition. Love it!

Later that night we ordered pizza and played board games.  Nothing like diving right into our regular winter activities on the first night of Daylight Savings! What a great weekend.  Love my people.
