Ba Humbug Star Wars? Really? Why did I title that when we love Scrooge and Star Wars? The kids got out of school on Friday and we wanted to start the Holiday Festivities right away.
Saturday we got up, had a good breakfast and got ready to
brave the snow to drive 2 hours to go see a play at the Redding Civic Center.
Mind you we live in a small town of only 250 people and off a 15 mile dirt road
just to get to that little town center. So everything is far away. You get used
to it and don’t even realize it anymore.
We had to pile into two cars as there was 7 of us but we
were on our way. Once we got there MIL treated us to lunch and we headed to the
show.
I loved the show. I love seeing actors act and right in
front of you. It was full of laughter and joy just like a show should be. I was
happy we decided to take the kids and MIL because hopefully it’s something they
will remember later on in life. My parents used to take me to them and I always
want to share that with my four kids too. It was a cute love story of Scrooge
and I highly recommend it. One of those ones you can go if you’re single but
hold hands to if you are not.
We made it home safely which was good as no one got stuck
this time. Just wait as it does happen lol.
Sunday we went to a grand 50th party for a good
friend of mine. I am thankful that we made it as it snowed even more. It was
good to see my friends and be able to celebrate and have a surprise party for
herJ That evening we
watched a couple episodes of Star Wars as we were going the next day as a
family.
The next day my husband woke up the kids with the loudest
Star Wars Music. It rang through the whole house as today was Star Wars Movie
Day. It was so hilarious to see some kids all excited and others looking at him
like he had lost his mind. We watched one more episode and then left early as
we had a 2 hour trip to go to the movies in Redding again. This time as we left
in two cars we didn’t arrive at the same time as we got stuck for an hour on
our driveway and had to get another car lol. AHH the wonders of living out on a
ranch.
We did however make it to stand in line with our already
bought tickets. Everyone got their popcorn and drinks. Ryan and I got our Storm
Trooper 3D glasses and we were ready! I am thankful we all got to sit together!
The movie was Awesome! Let’s just say….actually I will not
say anything as you have to go see it yourself! We all loved it and the 3D part
was ultra-cool. Thought it was cool the kids all wore their Star Wars shirts
also. Next time we have to get MIL one too!
It was a fun 3 day weekend that is still continuing as the
kids don’t have school this week. Mil is here with us through the holidays
which is an extra special part too. I miss my family at Christmas time. We will
be seeing my Dad and Stepmom right after Christmas though. I finally got our
Christmas Cards out also which is way late but I can’t be on top of everything
all the time right? J
We have many more days of Christmas festivities but this is
a good start!!!
