Friday -- Colin and I did a little shopping while my car was in the shop (the girls were helping their grandparents with tree decorations at that time). Black Friday, true, but by mid-morning, there were no crowds to fight with. Just peaceful, easy shopping with lots of good deals still to be had. I also spent 2 straight hours wrapping gifts that afternoon. And I'm STILL not done!
Saturday -- The girls helped me do a little shopping in the morning, and we put up our tree in the afternoon. We got a bigger fake tree this year, bigger than the one I had when I lived in an apartment by myself. It was a lot of fun to put up and decorate!

Sunday -- I started boxing up gifts that we need to ship. Also, the girls and I made our first-ever batch of buckeyes. Delicious!!! We used my grandma's recipe and it worked out really well. We dipped well over 100 buckeyes, and I was worn out afterward.

It was a great weekend, and we certainly got a lot accomplished. Christmas is still coming quickly, but I think I'll be ready. :)
You'll totally be ready!! Love the taller tree, and those buckeyes look delicious! I did notice you looked rather tense in the picture... ooops! Love it that Katie has a full-length apron, too!!
ReplyDeleteLove Katie in the apron. She looked like she really know what she is doing.
ReplyDeleteAm I spotting a Bondi Band on your head? :)
Even though I can't see the tree and decorations, I think your tree is pretty!
