Weekend fun with friends and family

This weekend was all about Christmas! 
Meeting up with family and friends to exchange gifts and catch up! We don't get to see eachother often, but we all make the effort during the holidays. 

Saturday we finished up our Christmas shopping. We didn't stay out too long because we had a work Christmas party to attend to downtown! 

We have been going to these Christmas parties since 2004!  It was so great to catch up with friends. We were all equally happy to see eachother during the holidays. 



I was exhausted by the time we got home, I was sooo happy to see my bed ha! 

Sunday morning we got to sleep in a bit before heading out to a friends house. 


These little cuties got to open the gifts they got eachother. We are so blessed to have such great friends. 


The kids had a blast opening the gifts! 


The girls got to catch up and the guys, well. They were taking their body measurements for custom made suits! It was serious business!! 


Then when we left one friends house we went to another which was only 5 mins away which was great. 

The kids got to play and the adults chatted about everything and anything. Lots of food and lots of fun! A great holiday get together. I haven't seen some of these friends for years, but we all just picked up where we left off. That's true genuine relationships. 





Little k loves being with his friends. And they love being with him. He talks about them all the time and they are always asking for him!. He has one little baby that just started daycare with him. She doesn't talk yet but her father said that on the weekend all she kept saying was Kristian Kristian. Ha! The girls love him. 

He had a great weekend and he can't wait for Santa. He's been a really good boy and everyday he surprises me. Love my boy sooooo much!! And I'm more excited this Christmas than all the others past. 

I'll have some other pictures to post soon when I get them from daycare. Even tho his daycare isn't religious she still went out of her way to teach Kris the basics,  a little of what she could on the Christian side and a little on the commercial side. That was so nice of her. Although, she had a little tree and kris and his friends were complaining that they have big trees at home and that hers was too small haha! Kids!

Weekend recap snow days

Thursday we had a big snow storm! 

The commute to work was much longer than normal. The roads were so bad! 



Little K loved walking through all the snow. 

So we made him shovel the sidewalk. Ha!



By Friday the roads were clear and the snow was already melting from milder temps. 

We had a fun weekend. My weekend started Friday night with these girls 


We went for dinner and caught up with eachother. It's been a while since we all got together minus the kiddies. 


The rest of the weekend was dedicated to Christmas shopping and fun with little k. 

We went to a outdoor oulet mall. A little chilly for that tho! We shopped a bit. And really enjoyed the Christmassy feel with all the lights and decorated trees! 


We then went to enjoy a Christmas lights show! 


All that shopping and driving got us hungry. 
Yum pizza!!! 


It was a fun day about an hour away from home. We stopped for chocolate treats for the car ride home from Hershey's Factory. Yum!! 

We got home late and we all crashed! 

This morning we were out early to continue the Christmas shopping. First stop breakfast at a nearby restaurant then a park for fun before getting to any stores.








A winter wonderland.

I love waiting last minute to shop for gifts.  So this year is no different. I'll be shopping and wrapping till Christmas Eve! Little K is so much more excited this year. He can't wait for Santas gifts!

Beginning to feel alot like Christmas!

Yesterday we went to get a fresh tree! 

We are combining and making new traditions for our little family. 

We went to a tree farm about an hour away.

And Santa was there! 


Little K was happy to see Santa. He told him he wanted presents then gave him a look as if he wasn't sure that this guy he just met was actually going to get him presents. Ha! He cracks us up!

Family shot :)


They had dog rides for charity. I thought little k would have been scared. But nope! He was excited to go for a ride! 



We had so much. We did this last year and will continue it every year! 


We put the tree on our stand at home yesterday then waited a day for it to settle before decorating. 

Tonight we put on Christmas music and 
decorated the tree. Now we will order a nice meal for dinner and enjoy the rest of the evening with the house all decorated for the season. Perfect. 


2 weeks till Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone!!
