A Productive Weekend

Saturday was a busy day full of projects. The company delivering the nursery furniture said they would be to our house close to 11:00 am, but failed to show up until 1:00 pm. I wonder why they even bother to quote you times when they fail to meet them. Hmm? The good thing is that all of the furniture got here and it was in good shape. They sure do pack it up really well! We have a lot of trash sitting out on driveway. It's a good thing big trash goes out on Mondays. They had a little trouble getting some of the furniture up and around the stairs. I think they probably would have charged us more if they knew what a tight turn it would be. Oh well! It was WELL worth the money to have it delivered. Craig had to help with one of the pieces, so just imagine if we had to do it ourselves?!?! We (or maybe just me) decided that we should get everything set up instead of letting it sit in boxes for the next few weeks. The two dressers came put together, so all we had to do was take them out of the box. The crib needed to be put together though. That was a pretty painless process. We worked together and get it all up and arranged. It took us a while to decide how we wanted everything to go in the room. There is a good chance that we will change our minds over the next 3 months! We definitely have time to make changes! 

Week 24 belly bump in front of Mackenzie's crib.

After all of the furniture was in place, we went over to Denise's house for her Christmas Open House. This was the third year for her to do this, and I love going over there. She makes the best (and easy) Crockpot meatballs. I'm a little embarrassed to say how many I ate... So I won't! It is always fun to see family and watch the kids play. Once we left there, we (or just me again) decided to go to the Galleria to do some Christmas shopping. Our nieces, Addi and Brookie, love the American Girl dolls and have asked Santa for new ones this year. We needed to be prepared just in case he decided they have been good enough to receive one. That store is an experience in and of itself! I don't think anything could have prepared Craig for what was in store inside. I had no idea how big that place was either. It is HUGE!!! and it was packed at 8:30pm. I have a feeling that we have trips like this in our future with Mackenzie. They have so many clothes and accessories downstairs to choose from, and then upstairs they have a hair salon, a Bistro, and party rooms! In the salon, you can get your doll's hair done, or ears pierced, or get a facial!!! It's unbelievable!! We really had no idea. Then as we were walking back to our car through the mall, it seemed as if every other little girl had an American Girl doll or someone was carrying a bag from that store. Craziness! 

Sunday, was a little more low key but still busy. Craig helped his dad break down a party that he decorated for on Saturday. I ran some errands and went to school to get some work done. Craig came home and is playing the new Zelda game! He is obsessed right now! I am going to grade some papers. It's not a mystery who will be having more fun. 

We are excited to go to the doctor again on Monday to see how Miss Mackenzie is growing. Hopefully, we will get another video of her heartbeat.
