Long Weekend!

I've only worked one full week since December 23rd, I have gotten really spoiled, so of course I loved having another long weekend! Lacey was out of school sick Thursday and Friday with a stomach virus. By Friday evening she was feeling much better and wanted to go to Kelbe's birthday party. Usually the girls are not allowed to do anything social if they miss school, but I decided to relax the rules a little and let Lacey go. Kendall and I hung out at home.
Saturday Britta came home and Lacey had Kelbe over. Lacey, Kelbe, Britta and I went to Newnan, Kendall was not feeling well and wanted to stay home. Newnan has some cute stores, my two favorites are:

Heritage Quilts - http://www.heritagequiltsandfabrics.com/

Two Sisters Knitting - http://www.2sistersknit.com/
I am starting a new block of the month quilt. I love block of the month quilts because they are so attainable. I also bought some yarn to make Britta striped knee socks. We tried toffee from a new store on the square, but Britta's taste better. After shopping I came home and made steaks I got on sale (such a nice treat), green beans sauteed in olive oil and garlic, red potatoes cooked in the oven with Parmesan cheese and Italian spices and brocoli cornbread (Britta's request).
On Sunday Britta made her white chocolate/raspberry cake and I starting knitting a present for a baby shower I am going to this weekend. Late in the afternoon we went to the movies (another rare treat) and saw "Leap Year", it was your typical love story, but we loved it! I really like Amy Adams and who can resist a good-looking man with a foreign accent. After the movie we came home and I made Italian Sausage Tortelleni soup, one of the girls favorites and we ate some of Britta's cake.

Monday we had a lazy morning and then I went to visit my cousin Jan. She served a lovely lunch of chicken parmessan. We spent a couple of hours visiting and I helped her with her sewing machine. She just recently purchased the machine ( I helped her pick it out) and still needed a little guidence when using it.

We had dinner and then Britta had to return to Dahlonega for school the next day. I always love it when I get to spend time with my girls, especially when I get to see the ones that don't live with me anymore.

Now I get to enjoy another short work week, yay!
