The countdown to Christmas has begun, 4 weeks to go! I still have so much to do but if Thanksgiving is any indication this will be a spectacular holiday season. We had such a nice weekend as a family. The dinner went great and everything turned out perfect (I couldn’t believe it)!:) We put the tree up and I didn’t expect to be emotional but seeing some of the ornaments and remembering past seasons made Jim and I really reflective and kind of sad at how fast it’s gone already. We also Christmas cookies and the boys LOVED that! I’ve never started from scratch before but I saw an easy recipe in Good Housekeeping from Kelly Ripa and gave it a go. It was neat because the boys and Jim (except Garrett) could all help and it made everyone feel important to have a job. The frosting got all over the kitchen but I honestly didn’t care one bit, it was just a great memory. It seems like things always test better when they are home made, don’t they?!
I was going to do the Black Friday shopping at 5am but I hit snooze and never made it.:) It was either sleep or shop and I opted for the rest! I’m not one for big crowds anyway so it’s fine with me and I still have 4 weeks to get r done. Lol. Well that’s pretty much the update! I’m trying to lose weight because I ate wayyy to much over the weekend and we have a lot of events coming up (even a tv appearance…yikes)! Hope you had a blessed weekend!
