Happy Monday my friends! It has been a really busy Monday…sorry I didn’t get the check in post up earlier. I hope you had a great weekend…and that it was a nice mix of fun and getting things done. Here’s my update…

Play List:

  • Birthday party! Check…and a great time was had by all.

  • Get Christmas tree + decorate it. Check…and a great time was had by all. (Seriously. We love getting our tree…it’s one of the highlights of the season.)
  • Knit. Check…lots of progress was made.
  • Make a batch of hot chocolate. Check and yuck. It did not turn out.

To Finish:

  • Finish final preparations for birthday party. Check! The treat bags were filled…

And supplies were gathered for the craft activity, which was making friendship bracelets. This was Kailea’s idea and the girls seemed to enjoy it a lot.

  • Laundry. A partial check. I still have a bit to do.
  • Clean house. Check!
  • Decide on appetizer for next weekend’s neighborhood party. I’m going to bring cheese and crackers including this marinated cheese recipe. (Doesn’t that look yummy?)
  • Wrap some Christmas and birthday gifts.  Check!
  • Review holiday master list…and make plans for the upcoming week. This one’s on today’s list.

All in all it was a really nice weekend! I was feeling a tad bit under the weather yesterday, so I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. But was still a good weekend. How was yours?
