Today begins a bit of a crazy fortnight.
Tomorrow
is the internment of Husband's grandpa and grandma who passed 7 years
ago and 3 years ago respectively. They were cremated and never interned.
My MIL secured a site for them at Jefferson Barracks in South County,
as Peepaw served in the military for many years. The Husband's cousins
are coming in for Thanksgiving and it was a good time to have the
ceremony when most everyone is here.
We have a luncheon
scheduled afterwards so we can spend some time with his extended family
since we won't be here for the holiday.
Because after
the luncheon, we head to the airport for a flight to DFW! I am so
excited to see my family for Thanksgiving even if we may end up eating
out instead of cooking a big fancy dinner. I still want to stuff my face
with desserts when I get the opportunity.
Not sure
about the Black Friday shopping - lounging on the couch in my PJs with a
hot cider and shopping via my iPad sounds like it might be more my
speed this year for some reason. {Side note: who AM I that I'm not
psyched for shopping?! I am getting old.}
We come back
home on Sunday evening and spend three days doing laundry, cleaning my
house, setting up Christmas decorations (I hope) and then head to Walt
Disney World on Thursday morning!
Yup, it's another
trip to the House of the Mouse with only me and Husband. We're staying
in one of our favorite resorts, Port Orleans French Quarter and have
tickets for the Christmas party and the Candlelight Processional,
neither of which we've done before. It's five days and four nights of a
vacation that we've been looking forward to since April - he passed the
bar and we decided this would be our celebration.
So for those keeping score, that's December 10 when we are finally back in town and ready for Christmas.
We are hosting our first holiday in the house - with my mom and brother
and his family - and there's some major decorating, tree buying and setting up, plus menu planning and executing to do.
How's your next fortnight shaping up?
Oh my, have so much fun in Disney! Please post photos on FB! Have a wonderful safe happy Thanksgiving. So much excitement!
ReplyDeleteYou have a busy couple of weeks coming up! Hope you are having a wonderful time with your family and I'm seriously trying to figure out how to get in your suitcase for Disney:) I shopped from my iPad as well. I don't like shopping with crowds.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your vacay pics. Just told my husband today that I am looking forward to going to Disney again sometime in the future - haven't been there since I was nine!
