a thankful weekend

it was the perfect amount of time with friends and time with family
the perfect balance of time out and time at home~

bake cookies with a house full of little girls

dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday

watch falling snow

a piano recital-
(beautiful performances Ellie, Abi, Sam & Bailey!!!!)

hung wreaths and garland on front windows and door

(i LOVE the fresh cedar garland and fresh wreaths at Costco!!!!!)

practice our Christmas songs 

lots of play-dates
i started this book

a football game
(phew...that was a close one!)
put the kids to bed and watched The Nun's Story by Audrey Hepburn

church

choir practice

pictures for Christmas cards-my fav. out-takes above
(i LOVE Christmas cards...making and sending them...but mostly receiving them throughout the season...
it's one of my favorite parts of the holidays.)

a movie with all of us piled on our bed- Pollyanna (perfect for Thanksgiving week)!)

(i cried...kind of a lot)

making dinner together

I am thankful for weekends...especially this one.
