Weekend rewind. If you want to play along, grab the above button and tell me all about your weekend!
Friday ~ I had to work, one of my first day of training at my actual work location. It was a busy day. Then I had to crazy notion of stopping at Barnes and Noble to see if I could find a magazine for a stocking stuffer... ugh! Not the place I wanted to be 2 days before Christmas. I left with no magazine, and then fought the traffic to get out of the mall! Once home, I had dinner, that my hubby made and got busy working on the last two knitting projects for Christmas.
Saturday ~ Up early to get to the store before the crowds got there to get groceries for the week and the last few gifts I needed. Then it was off to finish the projects, make a salad for Christmas, and prepare all of the foods for our Christmas Eve snacks. I had to take a nap, as I knew I wouldn't make it through the day with all I had to accomplish.
Christopher's girlfriend came over for out finger food/snacks and movie night. Those two exchanged their gifts, as well as them and us each opening up one gift, which I got the guys all Lions pajama pants, and a set of comfy/fleece jammies for myself. Taylor gave John and I a gift card to Outback.
Sunday ~ Christmas day! I was up before everyone, as I have been for the last few years. I enjoyed the quiet time, and working on some knitting, (had to finish up my father inlaws hat). For the first time ever, John was up before the boys! Finally go them up so we could dive into the presents!
From my hubby, he got me a Sweddish Massage Cushion.... oh heavenly!, a new set of pots and pan, my purple mug, the first book of the Hunger Games, some chocolate, a gift card to IHOP (yum!) and a knitting magazine.
From the boys ~ Trent got me a nice waffle maker and a Tigger mug; from Christopher, a gift card to Best Buy (that will be put with the other gift cards to purchase my Kindle Fire).

Then it was off to the inlaws. From them, I received some $$, an apron that matches my kitchen decor, a puzzle and candy; SIL - John and I got a combo gift of a gift card to Logan's; UIL - gift card to Hobby Lobby. Lots of good food and family time. I ended up showing my father in law his hat, and then took it back to to complete it (which I did before we left!)

What did you do this weekend? Let me know if you play along!
Looks like a wonderful weekend! I LOVE the look on Lulu's face! It's like a "You don't want to do that!" look :)
