This was the business trip that Madeline got to go on. It was so much fun having her with me. We watched several Christmas Hallmark movies in the bed! That is something I never get to do!
He has been on so many trips this past year that he knows the drill. :)
The hotel was beautiful! We were on the fourteenth floor overlooking a beautifully decorated atrium!
Macheus enjoyed the indoor swimming. Madeline and I enjoyed laying there doing nothing. :)
He was getting a little exercise! :)
One of the evenings we went to the mall and walked around.
Of course, Santa is always at the mall! We didn't do pictures because it was ridiculously priced and they wouldn't let us use our own camera. We will hit Bass Pro! I think he preferred waving from a distance anyway.
One of the many trees at the hotel.
One evening Marc and I were supposed to attend a dinner hosted by the architect in charge of Marc's building project. The man heard that we had two of our kids with us and he insisted that we bring them. I was a little hesitant to bring Mac but he behaved like a perfect gentleman! :)
Madeline was a bit appalled that her dinner cost $60! I mean. think of all of the Chipotle bowls that could buy! :)
We also had club level access at the hotel. We ate breakfast in there and then in the evenings they served hors d'oeuvres (we skipped that) and late evening desserts! We were a bit spoiled!
Our dessert..... they were so yummy!
Breakfast time.... Macheus always makes friends with people when we travel. The lady that ran the breakfast was so sweet and reminded us of Alice off of Brady Bunch. We took her a little Christmas present our last morning and let Macheus give it to her.
just in time for our little town's Christmas parade!
So thankful we have another year celebrating with Grandpa! He enjoys these little traditions with us.
Love our little agricultural town!
Sweet sisters...
Mimi and Elizabeth at her first Christmas parade! She was a bit small for it last year. :)
Pop and little Elliott
My bottom four.
So thankful that my big kids value time with their grandpa. Matthew took him out to eat and then spent the evening with him putting lights on his porch.
The evening after the parade everyone scattered. I babysat the grandbabies that evening and loved every minute of it!
So sweet watching her excitement over the Christmas decorations and lights.
Watching a little "Barney". She isn't quite the fan that her mama was, but she did enjoy dancing to the songs.
It is such a busy time of year. We traveled again this week but we are home now and shouldn't have to leave town again! I'm close to being finished with my shopping, and hoping to enjoy the Christmas season with all of my people!
~Until next time.....
