Watching him "light up" over this simplest addition to his room just melts my heart. He's been spending a lot more time in his room, enjoying his lights. He even requested a rest on Friday so he could have his lights on during it (we don't leave them on at night). And I've caught him more than a few times sitting in his reading corner, reading a book by Christmas light.
Friday & Saturday ... lots of holiday fun ... starting to really feel like the time is upon us.
- Picking up a few more ornaments for our tree at Wal*Mart of all places ("Joy, Peace and Merry" ... in red glitter :) ). Last year my sister gave me a very cool, wooden, ornament that says, "Hope." I was so happy when I pulled it out this year and placed it at the top of the tree, just under our star.
- Friday night was our ladies Christmas party at church. Jessica picked me up and it was fun to hang out and get a chance to catch up.
- Saturday I woke up feeling off ... soar throat, headache and that foggy head feeling. Matt let me sleep in until almost 9AM when he woke me up and asked if I wanted my breakfast in bed or in the kitchen. So nice.
- We hung out Saturday morning, each of us doing our own thing ... me: sewing, Matt: woodworking, Ethan: a little bit of everything. Then I headed out to lunch with my parents and our family friend, Lisa, for lunch and then on to my sister's theatrical debut. It was a fun afternoon, but missing my afternoon nap, made me a tired girl.
- Having already promised Ethan dinner out and a Christmas lights tour, we headed out again. Dinner was nice and I didn't mind sitting in the car, with my heated seat making me very cozy, looking at the beautiful lights. I did however nod off a few times and Matt decided I better get home to bed ... but not before grabbing a little "dessert" at Starbucks. I managed to stay awake the rest of the way home and enjoyed my Carmel Apple Cider.
You'll really want to check in tomorrow ... I've got a giveaway to announce!!
Happy Weekend!!

I was so happy to see that ornament on the top of your tree! I had completely forgotten about the ornaments we got last Christmas, kind of a cool memory to think about :) Thanks again for coming! I had no idea you weren't feeling well and I can only imagine how watching medieval drama could add to your tiredness :) Happy Monday!
Sounds like a nice weekend! I like your new ornaments. Can't go wrong with red sparkle! I hung lights up in the kids rooms yesterday. I like you idea of just stringing them over the window. Darn those dumb suction cups. I am sure when the kids wake up I will go in to see my unreliable suctions have let go...
Claire loves her lights too. I need to move them to her new room.
I can't wait to go out looking at lights. Maybe this week. And, of course, it's always better with Starbucks in hand :)
Ooh! Everything looks gorgeous!
