Last Weekend

This past weekend seemed to be a bit of a blur. I wanted to get in quite a bit of Christmas cookie baking (which I did - YUM!), Kyle and I went on a date, and we did a few Christmas festivities with Graham (FUN!) Kyle and I went to a steakhouse for a long, leisurely dinner while my parents watched Graham. (We had every intention of going to see a movie, and all the movies we wanted to see started at 10:00 or later. Yeah - not happening.) On Saturday we took Graham to Courthouse Galleries in Portsmouth to see their Christmas displays. The old Coleman's nursery set-up is now there. Graham loved the trains - tried to climb over the fence a few times to get closer. And, he went on his first pony ride. (Frankly, I'm not sure what ponies have in common with Christmas celebrations, but we were excited for him to ride nonetheless!) A really great outing. We finished off the weekend by going to see the Christmas lights on the beach. (Don't tell, but we let Graham sit on Papa's lap in the front seat for a better view. We didn't exceed 5 mph.) The lights were much better than I remembered, but not better than the botanical garden lights. They were fabulous. In fact, we may go back to see them this coming Sunday....

(Sorry - the pictures from Portsmouth aren't the best - we only had Kyle's camera.)
