stacks of Christmas movies | making cookies
cinnamon shortbread | a festive kitty | the fruits of our labour
Each year a handful of us head to my moms for a day full of Christmas cookie baking (Santa hats and all). This year my step-sister and I decided to take the tradition up a notch and crash my moms place for the entire weekend. What ensued was a festive few days with some of my favourite people that will forever be hard to top. I surely ingested more sugar (and tea) than any human ever should, and have made a pretty serious dent in my Christmas-movie-watching-to-do-list. If that doesn’t depict my type of weekend, well I just don’t know what does.
ohh it sounds like the perfect festive weekend! i watched elf over the weekend and got SO excited for christmas :) xx
hehe me too!! I still have a few more to cross off my list but I’m definitely getting there
I baked and decorated gigerbread cookies with a friend during the weekend, we had a great time!
sounds like my kind of weekend!
Yay! scenes from your weekend is back! I missed this last week! Looks like you had an awesome weekend! here’s to an even more awesome week ahead!
haha thanks Aliza! I didn’t realize people noticed I skipped last weeks ;) I wanted to squeeze in as many gift ideas as I could. But not to worry – SFMW isn’t going anywhere!
So fun! I wish I could have been right there with you!
I would have liked that :)
What a fabulous weekend I had with my wonderful daughters..need to keep my hands off of the goodies though!!!
Love Mom
The Family Stone is my absolute favorite!

it makes me feel so Christmassy (and want a big nutty family in an old Victorian house)
So glad I’m not the only one who needs to watch the Holiday and the Family Stone every Christmas!
Heck no! As far as I’m concerned they’re classics
It’s become a tradition in our household to watch Love Actually at Christmas (itreplaced reading Christmas storybooks as children).

PS: What is that delectable looking chocolate slice?
It’s a peppermint naneimo bar! My friend made it and it’s DELICIOUS
We definitely watched Love Actually on Saturday. It makes me cry happy tears each time without fail
Perfect scenes! And I love all those movies, you got a ton of my favorite ones there! No matter how silly and how many times I’ve seen Home Alone, I always, always, laugh so so much ;)
it’s one of the best!
Look strangely similar to my weekend! I watched 3 of those movies, but I still need to get on the Elf band wagon. Haven’t see it yet!
whaaa! Stop everything you’re doing immediately and fix that!
The movies! The cookies! This weekend looks so cozy and like a dream. Every weekend in December until the one before Christmas we will be out of town, so I am going to need to make this goodness happen a little last minute. xo
Hey some jam-packed Christmas movie watching days is never a bad thing!
Your weekend looks like a dream…that dessert table is fabulous!
