Christmas Weekend Recap

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas spent with family and friends. I know I sure had a great weekend.  I am still recovering from the fun weekend but here's my recap through photos.

Weekend Recap

The weekend is over and we have officially approached Christmas week! Can you believe it?!
This last weekend was fun.  Friday evening my husband and I looked at Christmas lights near my parents house.  The houses around the lake always decorate beautifully, and each street has a theme.

 After walking around and looking at the lights, we came home and watched a few Christmas movies with the fireplace on!

Saturday my husband went golfing so I worked on orders.  When he got home, we got ready to have dinner at my favorite Japanese Steakhouse. I wish I got more photos, but I was having too much fun! After dinner we went out on the town!

 
Sunday we spent the day relaxing and recouping from the night prior.  We went to my parents house to go out to dinner at Yardhouse, which was super yummy, but then we came home and relaxed some more.  We kept it pretty low key.   

I still can't believe Christmas is just a few days away.  What are your favorite Christmas Traditions?

Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday, it's time for my Weekend Recap! This weekend was a major #Hustle weekend for me.  Since we are redoing my office this coming Friday, I knew I had to push orders out to give myself time to close shop and get everything that is now in my office out. 

I spent the evening on Friday helping my girlfriend create a gift for someone whose child died at 38 weeks in the womb.  She wanted to make something she would cherish and that would be meaningful for her. So we created this image and placed it on a tile.  This is what the end result was:

She was super happy with the result and it was her first time making anything like this for someone! I love it!

Saturday day I woke up bright and early to hustle out my Etsy orders.  I ended up having over 22 orders made and shipped out.  My mom was super helpful and came over to help me package all the orders!

Does This Ring Make Me Look Engaged?

We made it to the post office right before they closed to ship these babies off! I was exhausted.  When I got home, I thought I would have time to nap, but the hubby told me to start getting ready for an earlier dinner.   So that is what I did. 

We went to Claim Jumper and I ordered the steak and shrimp. It was so good!  They also have my favorite dessert Pumpkin Cheese Pie.  It's basically a cheesecake with pumpkin.  I am so not a dessert person, but something about pumpkin spices things up!  We got home and had our friends come over to play some cards, dice and go in the spa.  We played this game called 3-man, and I ended up being stuck as three man pretty much the entire game.  So I was feeling pretty good by the end of the night. Before the guys got too buzzed we went to the store to pickup more alch and some snacks. 

 
We ended up going in the spa around 3 am, and cooked taquitos and cookies. We didn't go to bed till about 5 am. It was a LONG night.

Sunday we pretty much slept all day and were super lazy.  We finally got up and moving around 2:30 PM and I helped my friend make some decals for his ATV/buggy. It was a fun weekend, but I am exhausted!

How did you all spend your weekend?
