party all day

We have had quite the eventful weekend so far. Last night John took Kylan to a bowling party for his friend Sam, while Jace and I stayed at home and made a cake for a baby shower. Which, by the way, is I think my final cake. They just take way too long for such a small price. I don't make enough money off of them with the labor and time involved. Once we finished the cake (my mom and I), as much as we could, then Jace and I relaxed until John and Kylan came home. In fact, Jace fed himself some spaghetti-o's and then got a bath and was out by 8:30. Soooo, I was able to catch up on some reading. Once they got home, I headed back to my mom's to finish the cake. We didn't get to finish it because John had to pick up the fondant. I finally got in bed a little after 1. Today started early with my Uncle Bob and Aunt Shirley coming in from Little Rock. They brought their grandson with them who is in college, so the boys were entertained nicely. These people are the nicest people ever and mean the world to us. They are not really our aunt/uncle, but we have claimed them as family since we were about 8 years old and met them while going on weekend church retreats. Our family, as well as them, and many other couples/families were part of a "ministry team" that traveled around AR to minister/witness on the weekends. It was a wonderful experience growing up, that I hate for my boys to miss out on. Our team no longer does these, as life gets busier and people travel more, etc. Anyway, we had a great time visiting with them. Afterwards, we (Jace and I) took us a nap before we headed out to drop off Kylan for a birthday party for his friend Gavin. We then took Jace to John's parents because we had a Christmas party for our Extension Club. Hubbies are invited to this and we play lots of games and exchange gifts with our secret sis that we have had throughout the year. We had a great time. Afterwards I went and picked up Jace and Kylan was dropped off at the party. He was worn out and was asleep before we got home. He said he had a great time though. Tomorrow is yet another busy day to end the weekend. We have out Christmas program, along with Santa at church tomorrow. I am eager to see how Jace will react.....
