We kicked off the Christmas season in Decorah on the second weekend of December....we all decided to make the trek to Decorah and make a weekend out of it. It was a lot of fun- the kids played, girls shopped, the guys went for a drink, the boys played at a gym, we had a game of bingo, and the girls got to go to a movie! The weekend really flew by...
We surprised the boys with an extra gift- Christmas onesies! They were a big hit...maybe a little too big of a hit. The boys stayed in character the rest of the weekend....
2016 wasn't the best year for the Coppola inlaws- each set of our parents struggled with their health in one way or another, and so this group really needed some R&R, no schedules, no stress, etc...and that's what we got! It was a lot of fun to get out of town too!
Joe and I hosted my family's side for Christmas! Mom and dad had a doctor appointment, we had Saylor's program, the boys had basketball, and Grace had a concert all in one weekend- so we decided to have it in Des Moines and do everything together!
So, here's what went wrong over the weekend: Mom and dad missed Saylor's program; my garage code malfunctioned and they couldn't get into my house; dad got no results from his doctor appointment; my "surprise" flutists (long story) had to cancel because of weather; it took Jeff and Aubree 6.5 hours instead of 3.5 hours to get to my house because of bad weather; Grace's choir program was canceled due to weather; dad didn't feel good; and Joe got the flu in the worst way possible and was in bed all day Saturday.
Here's what went right: We were together. And, that is all. : )
