This weekend started off on Friday night as we headed out to celebrate my sister’s awesome new man’s birthday. We headed to a restaurant and hung out for a few hours with some awesome peeps. It was good food, good peeps, good times.
Saturday morning my plans to go to the NOTL Christmas Parade were rained out, so I stayed home and watched three of my favourite Christmas Movies: All I Want for Christmas, Polar Express and Elf (for the second time this season!). It was a lazy day, and I needed it. I did however; get some of my Christmas gifts wrapped. I was feeling extra festive.
We headed out to hockey that evening and my husband’s team won 4-3. It would have been 4-2 but my husband scored on himself, which was highly amusing to everyone. He is a good sport and I think he laughed the hardest over it. My team worked really well together and won 4-2. It was a lot of fun!
Sunday I woke up and I was feeling the baking itch. I have to be in the mode to bake and the last few years I didn’t feel like baking so much as we are so busy at Christmas. I made thumb print squares, which are like lemony shortbread with jam. I accidently over filled some of the thumbprints with jam and it ran across some of the squares. I like my baking to look good when I give it to people so we are keeping most of these messy, bad boys to ourselves.
Then I tackled rolled out sugar cookies. Rolling out cookies by yourself seems to take forever. I baked my last cookie after about three hours worth of work and I was exhausted. Then of course, I had to sample some!
My husband and I curled up and watched It’s a Wonderful Life, which is not only my favourite Christmas movie, but it’s also my favourite movie of all time.
It was a busy weekend but it was fun! Next weekend be even more crazy busy! Can’t wait to tell you all about it!
I apologize about the pictures, blogspot gave me a heck of a time posting them and then they kept bouncing around. bah.
