It's hard to say...

...what I liked best about my weekend.

It could've been all the beautiful things that I saw while shopping. (Pottery Barn above, REI below)

Everything was all glittery and sparkly!

The "laughing until you snort, pee, or quit breathing" was good too!

Or perhaps the thing I like best about this weekend was that I got approx. 95% of my shopping done. Don't be fooled, still lots to make- but the buying is mostly done.

We all did pretty well, can't you tell?  Not sure if we would've been able to fit one more bag into the Xterra we were driving. (what am I saying?  there is always room for more bags! jenny was perfectly comfortable riding that way home)

Dinner was definitely a highlight. A little wine and WAAAAYY too much food. Never fear, there is always room for Burnt Cream.

As good as dinner was, the company was even better. This was most likely the best part!

A lovely weekend, it was all the best...especially returning back home to my favorite faces and lots of small (and big) arms wrapped around me.  It's good to be missed.

Hope your week is off to a great start.  Thank you for all the advent garland love!
