Christmas Family Weekend

We had such a nice weekend together as a family. Josh had to work half of the day on Saturday. He came home and we relaxed for a while. On Saturday night, we cooked some Christmas goodies to take to people in town. Then Josh watched the movie The Holiday with me, wasn't that sweet!

Gus supervised from his highchair, and Bear waiting close by for anything that might fall.....
Samson kept an eye on what Josh was doing.
I made peanut cluster, and the recipe can be found HERE
Josh made sugar cookies
And we had a fire going in the fireplace

Here is how I bagged up the peanut clusters:

I also made some Tomato Basil Soup for people. This was so easy! You can get mason jars at the grocery store or Hobby Lobby. Then I just glued some ribbon on the jars.

But...... just so you know....... not everything in the kitchen comes out looking good :)
On Sunday, we as a family lit the advent candle. I wanted to get a picture, but Gus fell asleep on the way home.

It is raining and is supposed to snow this evening!! I an still hoping that it might snow on Christmas, you never know :)

Gus is slowly getting over his ear infection. I am still fighting a cold too, but we are working hard to get well for Christmas.

I hope you all had a great weekend... it is 5 days until the big day!
