Weekending....

Joining in with Amanda from Habit of Being for my first weekending post....


This weekend was full of Christmas spirit
And lots of family time too
Hanging lights and Christmas cheer
Making salt dough ornaments (and a mustache too)
We finished up gifts to wrap and mail
Saturday breakfast out on the town
and a wee break from dish duty for mom
A walk through our favorite park,
A birthday party for Finn's dear friend
And a date night to a Christmas party....
(A fabulous night, with lots of moments to be left unsaid)
Sunday brought a slow morning
A bit of sewing, a few photos too
In the afternoon, a brisk and sunny walk to the library,
with cookies shared on the walk home.
A pot of soup to warm the bones
A tree brought inside (more on that later)
And adorned with lights, decoration and love.
A quiet evening with some yarn
and a moment to take a deep breath.

How was your weekend?
