Weekend Recap!

What a great family weekend.
It was cold outside, my friends.
 Lots of fun together indoors.
The boys played non stop and got along so well all weekend long.
That can be a challenge when you have 4 boys under the same roof.
Trust me.
Even better, the Teenager was a complete joy to be around all weekend.
That too can be a challenge.
Trust me.

Speaking of The Teenager, he accompanied me on a
few errands Saturday, where I picked
up a few things for a little Christmas vignette for the foyer.
Ryan thinks this Santa looks creepy.
No, Ryan.
He looks vintage.
Not creepy.
Ok. Maybe a little, but I like him.
Can you see the squirrel?
You likey?
I decked out the stairs this weekend.
That's always such a beating, but I like how it looks.
I spent all day Sunday in the kitchen making
THE Pioneer Woman's
for a neighborhood cookie exchange.
SIX dozen of them.
Ryan squeezed and zested...is that a word?...about 36 lemons for me...that's a good man...
while the boys made homemade lemonade.
Yum.
Trysten helped me out.
Sweet boy.
Layered greatness.
Aren't they pretty?


Remember the pic Ryan and I took
holding our local newspaper in NOLA?
The boys were super impressed this weekend
to see we made into the current printing.
Pretty cool.
And last, but certainly not least,
the tooth fairy made an appearance this weekend.
How cute is this smile!?

Happy Monday!!!

Um...have to agree with Ryan on the Santa. CREEEEEPY!!! Fo sho. :)

Sounds like a fabulous family weekend. And everyone getting along??? Wow. That never happens. Enjoy!!!

Those lemon bars look delish. Those are Trey's favorites. But only his mom's recipe. Geeze.

it looks great, the food and decor...and he is only slightly creepy!

He's a little creppy but the red glitter and polka dots are too cute. I love to hear you had a harmonious weekend with the kids. Those lemon bars look really yummy. I am waiting on my nine dozen cookies from our work cookie exchange that I couldn't attend.
