The rest of the girlies weekend was a major slugfest. We basically hungout and rested and ate and rested and lollygagged and rested. Saturday night we watched a chick flick, "Star Wars Episode Three." I needed closure for something that began in the seventies and now all of the loose ends are wrapped up.
On Sunday I picked up Keegan and met some friends and my parents for Santa's Big Party. The setting was perfect with fresh snow and a wagon ride through the woods. The weather was good too, upper 30s and sun, no wind. I think the kids and parents had a good time. Jessie suggested we make it a tradition, I can get behind that. We tried to feed the reindeer but they were already full. I kind of felt bad for them laying on the ground with their bellies stuffed to capacity. Keegan got up close and personal with a llama and a goat. I am definitely bringing him back during the summer too.
Today I left work to get my hair done and ended up not going back. I didn't feel well and thought I should head home. I have gotten a few headaches lately and that is not normal for me. I hope my twitch isn't transforming back into migraines. I'll keep taking pain relievers and see how the holidays play out. I don't feel stressed but maybe it's more subtle.
All of the major chores I needed done around the house are completed. I will spend the next two nights cleaning, dusting, baking cookies and wrapping the gifts I ordered that have started to arrive.

Sounds like a good weekend. Have you ever been to Charmingfare Farm? I bet Keegan would love it. My nephew had a blast.
