I just love weekends like this one. It was a nice mix of work and play. I really got quite a lot of work done this weekend and I also was able to stop and enjoy time with our family doing fun holiday things.
And in merely 5 days, I will be on holiday break. Hallelujah. Although I know my fifthsters will be wild & crazy this week, we sadly have a lot of work to do before break…so hopefully everyone will cooperate and we can enjoy the next five days. :)
Saturday night, our family enjoyed a little smorgasbord of frozen pizza, rolls, chips & salsa, and chicken to go along with our first Christmas movie of the season.
This was Kaitlyn's first experience with The National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Kevin & I cracked up more just listening to Kaitlyn's belly laughs. It was so hilarious. Kevin shot this picture of our night. I just love how peaceful it looks
Peaceful not for long with a ridiculous dog around…
Once we got Riley under control, we enjoyed a little carmel apple cider. It's our home version of the Starbucks classic. If you haven't tried it, go now. You'll thank me. Promise.
After Kaitlyn went to sleep, Kevin and I sat up on our respective devices listening to Christmas music. He shot this picture of our beautiful tree. I love the quote above our door about Home (it says "Home…where laughter is shared & memories begin") and the Crucifix on the other side of the door. I just stare at it every single day. It's so peaceful.
And to top of this weekend, I spent two hours wrapping gifts. I still have a few left before I'm done - but I am doing MUCH better than usual for still having 10 days before Christmas. I'm pretty proud of myself. :)
I think that's it for this Monday Morning. That was quite a photo dump - sorry bout that. :)
Happy Monday -
