Sunday, Nov. 28 -- we had breakfast at home, asparagus, tomato and feta omelet -- yummy. We started out with a little shopping, not much luck, and then it was outdoors to rake leaves. We finished the other half of the yard that was left over from last weekend!
We had leftovers for dinner, including pie!
Monday, Nov. 29 -- Nancy was working, so Beth was with Tom part of the day. She has been practicing writing and numbers, and also working on her art. In the afternoon, she went with us to visit our accountant. Beth had a good workout at Curves and helped with dinner.
Tuesday, Nov. 30 -- Beth and Nancy went to meet a friend for coffee. Beth had a vanilla latte and she REALLY like it. Also a piece of blueberry coffeecake. She liked going out, but didn't like it when Nancy had to go to work after that. She went to Curves again in the afternoon.
Wednesday, Dec. 1 -- Nancy was gone much of the day, so Beth and Tom went to the shop. Beth was coloring there. Another Curves day. The gal working at Curves remembered Beth from previous trips and told me that they sang together throughout the whole workout!
Thursday, Dec. 2 -- Another fun meeting today -- Beth and Nancy went to lunch with a friend at a favorite cookie shop/restaurant. Really good! Later, Tom took Beth to Curves while Nancy went to work late. We had pizza for dinner.
Friday, Dec. 3 -- One of Beth's favorite things is to go to the Rotary meeting. Everyone knows her and welcomes her, and she stands up and waves at everyone when she is introduced. She forgot some of the Pledge of Allegiance this morning, though, so we will have to practice that again. After breakfast, Beth and Tom went to Brian's house to babysit for Simon. And in the evening, Simon came over here to stay with us -- what fun!
Five days in a row at Curves. Good job!
Saturday, Dec. 4 -- Today we all went to see the Missouri Rep's production of "A Christmas Carol" -- Beth, Lily, Graham, Poppy, Tom and me. We started out with lunch at Winstead's, then on to the show. We got a couple of pictures of us goofing off, including the kids in costume (photos coming soon). Then on to the show. Everyone really liked it. It was scary (but not too bad) and there was singing and dancing and of course, all the ghosts. It was a great show. We sang Christmas carols as loud as we could all the way home.

Week 1: Beth's Winter Holiday 2010
Beth and Ken arrived on Saturday Nov. 20, a direct flight from Columbus.
We started out with breakfast at home and just catching up. We raked some leaves and relaxed around the house and then headed over to Aixois to catch up with some friends. We had a glass of wine there and chatted a while, and then we went to a rugby fundraiser out in Lenexa. We saw some friends out there -- notably, Eddie Delahunt came and tipped his cap to Beth. She was delighted and mimed tipping a cap back to him!
Sunday, Nov. 21 -- mostly stayed around home, Beth wanted french toast for breakfast. We went to family dinner over at Patsy's house. Ken couldn't believe how the children have grown. It was a lovely dinner.
Monday, Nov. 22 -- Beth, Ken and Tom went to the shop and chatted with friends, and had a quiet day. Nancy had some work to do, a little late. We had a late dinner of chicken and noodles. Nancy and Beth started planning the big dinner.
Tuesday, Nov. 23 -- Tom took Ken and Beth to the Nelson Art Gallery, but it was closed. Instead they went on some errands. We had dinner at home, while we started in on making the pies.
Wednesday, Nov. 23 -- Nancy at work again, and today Tom took Ken and Beth to the Nelson for a nice tour, then downtown to the Webster House for a lunch. Nancy met up with everyone there. Later, we met up with our friends Sarah and Lucy, and we visited Lucy's home in Olathe. At night, we went to O'Dowd's to see Eddie.
Thursday was the big day! Dinner at 1 p.m. We had turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn souffle, green beans, rolls, cranberry sauce, salad, and desserts -- pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pecan pie, cookies and fudge! A total of 15 crowded around our table. It was a wonderful day.
Friday, Nov. 26 -- We all went out for a little visit to a couple of shops we like, a printing studio and then to a cooking shop. We relaxed at home until time to go to Aften's house and then to the Mayor's Xmas tree lighting at Crown Center. It's not as big an event as the Plaza lighting, but it was nice to be out with friends. We went back to Aften's for yummy lobster bisque.
Saturday, Nov. 27 -- The football games kept the guys in front of the TV a lot, but we ran a few errands in Brookside, and then went to visit Max. After that, time to take Ken to the airport for his journey home.
