A Weekend of Movie Night, Hockey and Working on the Santa Walls....

 It's been a good weekend and we've had something special for all three days.



Thursday I started working on the Santa wall in the den and I had a good bit done by the time for dinner and movie on Friday night.


Ilene and I usually enjoy a fancy cocktail that is low in alcohol and fruity in flavor.


I like to add a bit of fruit to the wine.


Dinner was Chinese food from Trader Joe's - delicious!


Our movie choice was a good one!


Can you guess what it was?


One of my favorites and Ilene's also!


Louis Dean stayed through the entire movie.

We had rain come in early in the afternoon and it was wonderful!!
I haven't driven in the rain in a long time.

Trystan's hockey game was at 2:30 in Valley Ranch and I had a warm green sweater and jacket to wear.


My sweet daughter, Amber!


Trystan is a feisty skater and I watched every minute of her game.


Sunday afternoon was Logan and Kailey's game in Richardson which is the coldest rink of them all!


Once again we bundled up and arrived early to the rink.


Amber snapped this pic after the game - which our team won 3-2.
I asked what they were doing and Amber said, "Praying." 
They gather after the game - players from both teams that want to participate - to say a prayer of thankfulness that no one was injured. This is a tough sport and it's not unusual for injuries to happen.


The hockey games consist of three periods of 15 minutes each.
The Bell grands have been skating since they were six years old.
The periods used to seem longer to me and now they go by so fast!
Who knew I would become an avid hockey fan!
The more games I watch, the more I understand the ins and outs of how they play.

I still love watching football, too, and the Cowboys played a great game!

So here we are ready to start a new week.
The fence gate is still under construction. Turns out Louis Dean can't find the new hinges he bought and needs me to take him to Home Depot - again!

I've never seen that movie. Louis Dean looks like he was really interested in it.
Looks like fun hockey games. I've actually never been to a game.
