Friday night we kicked off the weekend by going to the Plaza to see the Christmas lights. This is our 5th Christmas season living in KC and have never gone... I know I know, I hear about it all the time! So with a son who LOVES, and I repeat LOVES "Kiss-mas yites", we knew this year we had to go. Unfortunately he was not feeling so great, so he dozed in and out of it... so Tyler and I just pretended there were no kids in the back seat (instead of sleeping kids), and pretended we were on a date. And what a fun date it was.
Saturday my plans went down the toilet when my husband kindly told me that morning he needed to work. I somehow convinced him to go in after my 4 errands were ran, and he agreed... thank you Jesus for running errands in peace. When I got home, the baking marathon began! I had 6 dozen cookies to make... 3 different kinds (2 dozen each).
Later that night, I took a trip down memory lane as I watched Jaxon help his Daddy load/unload firewood.
Sunday, we never stopped going going going. Worship team, church, Christmas dinner at church, baking the last cookies, wrapping gifts, making an appetizer... and we were headed out the door to the Cookie Swap!
It was a blast and as you can see I came home with enough cookies to feed an army... which is a good thing since we'll be taking them to my parents for our family Christmas next weekend. My sweet friend Andrea did an amazing job hosting!
So, today I'm thankful for friendship. Christmas parties. And for busy weekends... because it means you have people who want to spend time with you. And for that, I'm grateful!
Have a happy week!
i'm jealous of your weekend. :) and I love your family!
