Weekend Round Up

Oh boy I am tired.  I have been busy, busy, busy.  We just finished our gym membership. It was getting to be too much so we decided to quit for now.  We will join again next year some time, hopefully after the New Year’s Resolution craze dies down after March. Until then I will be having my morning dates with Jillian and maybe taking advantage of our local Zumba classes.

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.
