Happy Monday!!

We are going to rock this week, right?!  I have to keep telling myself since i’m currently wishing I was snuggled in bed and it was the weekend!

I had such a fun and busy weekend! Let’s just  jump right into it!

Friday night involved a fun Happy Hour at a new place with this girl…

It’s been forever since we’ve gotten together so it was nice to catch up over a few glasses of wine 🙂

Saturday, I met a good friend for coffee and a manicure bright and early!

It was so nice to chat about everything life and Christmas related!

I’m so thankful I met this girl earlier this year – she and her husband seriously been such a blessing in our lives!  Have you ever met someone and instantly had a connection?! That’s how it was with our this couple and we’re so thankful!

Saturday was also the big candle sale day at Bath & Body Works!  I literally light these candles almost daily so I needed to stock up 🙂

After nails, I met up with another good friend to shop at a Holiday Bazaar at a nearby church!

I haven’t been to one since I was little and it was so much fun! All the crafters, baked good and Christmas music gave me all the feels!

I wasn’t kidding when I said the weekend was busy…

I then headed over to my Brother’s house for some family and more Christmas time!

I matched little Nora 🙂

We went to Afton’s Holiday Tours – which is just about the CUTEST little town here in Minnesota!  It’s a total gem and we’d never been.

This art school offered free s’mores (yes please!) and the best Santa and Mrs Claus!

I mean…

Everyone at shops were so sweet and friendly!

The whole town is old fashioned and full of Christmas cheer!

We ate at the Lumberjack Lodge and it was such a cute little place!

And we heated up with a fire by the road… odd, right?! haha!

We missed the ice cream shop (so sad!!) but it just means we have to make another trip there soon enough!

Wonder where Logan was?! GOLFING – in December in Minnesota.. how crazy is that?!  He was in heaven, of course 🙂

Sunday was filled with quite a bit of work (it’s a busy time of year!) and some baking goods.

These ones joined me in my office while I worked!

We had 2 bunches of bananas that had to be eaten (or thrown away tomorrow) so I made some PB Banana chocolate chip energy balls and Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies – say that fast 5 times!

I ended the night with a Hallmark movie and playing ball with this guy while Logan did some homework.

Today’s agenda after work?! Baking cookies and getting ready for my annual cookie exchange tomorrow! We’re missing a few girls and I’m so sad but hoping to enjoy some good cookies and games 🙂

If you have any suggestions for Christmas games – I’m thinking Minute-to-Win it games, let me know!

What did you do this weekend?! Was it filled with Christmas?!
