This Weekend I.............



      This weekend was spent doing some of my most favorite things!


The hubby and I stole away for awhile and while we were supposed to be Christmas shopping we splurged a little on ourselves instead. We power shopped for a couple hours and updated our wardrobes, which was much needed! There were so many good sales!


That night we went to our town's Christmas parade and tree lighting ceremony, which we have actually never done. I foresee a new family tradition. After we got home we dug into some Chinese food and decorated our tree. The kids were very into it this year.




Earlier in the week I sat hunched over for way too long and made some felt Christmas trees for the kids, complete with ornaments. They may not be the prettiest (or straightest), but the kids sure love them. :)

 If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen what Johnny B. Snickerdoodles has been up to. Johnny is our Elf on the Shelf and this is his first year visiting us.

Out for an early morning ride

Reading to his friends. I don't think they got the memo that he is a nice elf.
