Hello my friends! It’s the last Friday (and the final Finish It Friday) before Christmas! Is everyone in good shape with their holiday preparations? What else is on your to-do list this weekend?
Around here this week we’ve been busy putting the finishing touches on Christmas prep. The hot chocolate arrived on Monday in plenty of time to put together the teacher gifts. I’m happy with how they turned out.
The weekend will be more of the same…finalizing preparations for the big day. Here’s my list:
Play List:
Well, there will be lots of play this weekend and lots of relaxing. We have a nice Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner planned, and a very relaxing day planned for Christmas day. I plan to spend a lot of time on the couch relaxing and hanging out with my family.
- Boot camp is a maybe. I have a cold. If it’s better by tomorrow…I’ll be at boot camp. 🙂
- Make snowflakes. My son learned how to make some really cool, big, fluffy paper snowflakes at school, so we’ll be learning how and decorating the house a bit more.
I hope your list this weekend has lots of play on it!
To Finish:
- Finish wrapping gifts.
- Grocery shopping.
- Baking. Not sure how much I’ll help versus just supporting the rest of my family due to my cold. Jay is planning to make Baklava…a once a year treat around here. I can’t wait. 🙂
And that’s it my friends. I’m sure I’ll do a little bit of laundry…leisurely. But other than that, this weekend is all about relaxing and enjoying the holiday with my family.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and if you celebrate Christmas, I hope you have a safe, warm and joyful celebration.
Happy holidays!
I would love to know how you made your Cocoa jars. Very cute!
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.. I started vacation today until Jan 3rd so even though I really work harder at home than at the office it’s so nice to not have to be on a schedule.. I’m using today to do all my normal housework and finish up the Christmas tasks 🙂
Fun:
1. Christmas morning at my daughter’s
2. Christmas afternoon at my sister’s.. So looking forward to spending fun time with family.
To Do:
1. Weekly housework (dust, vacumn, bathrooms, sheets, etc…)
2. Laundry
3. Food Shopping
4. Setup a new EHD for my daughter’s Christmas present to do automatic backup (this is actually more a present to me because I’m tired of having to recover her hard drive).
5. Deliver cookies to neighbors
6. One more run to the mall early in the morning for a Gift card my husband forgot to pick up 🙁
6. Wrapping, wrapping, wrapping
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.. enjoy the holiday
Today will consist of cooking, cooking, and more cooking. We are having Christmas dinner tomorrow and then a more relaxed meal on Sunday so that we can attend church services on Christmas morning.
I’m looking forward to spending next week relaxing with my family. Although I have a few to-dos to wrap up before the end of 2011, it will be nice not to have much of a schedule.
Merry Christmas Aby, Jay, Collin, Kailea and all your blog readers!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
