This Weekend we:
+ made homemade chocolate chip shortbread cookies
+ cuddled in our jammies to watch Elf (while A asked 103 questions about it)
+ I sneaked out to the Cambridge Christmas market to buy some homemade goodies, catch some carolling and see Santa
+ went to TO to meet my friend Petal and her family, made pastelles, ate some amazing salmon risotto and listened to parang
+almost took a seventeen month old home with us
+ got babysitting for the kids and went to a very grown up wine and cheese in our new neighbourhood. Our new neighbours are very welcoming!
+started battling a cold (ick)
+ put on our very festive Christmas dresses for the first time--- thanks Grandma!
+went to our friends' country club for a lovely brunch and some visiting with Santa (more on that in another post)
+had wine, snacks and leftovers for dinner
And just like that Monday came again!

Love how welcoming your new neighbors are. And why have I never tried salmon risotto before? I think that's going on the dinner menu this week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your weekending posts. It's so great how you balance family time with alone time and time with your SO

Sounds like a lovely weekend! I wish I could try one of your pastelles right about now. I actually bought a Puerto Rican version of it over the weekend and it was disgusting unfortunately...lol
ReplyDeleteI love Elf! My favorite christmas movie! Not fun on the cold part :(
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun, festive weekend (minus the cold). I've been fighting one too, no fun!
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip shortbread? Please share :). I can totally see how a kid would have hundreds of questions about the movie Elf, lol. Looks like another great weekend.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I was sick this weekend too. Hope you're feeling better! We attempted Elf with Mila - she wasn't impressed at all, haha. She did like the end with Santa and the singing though. :)
ReplyDeleteI just received your lovely holiday card today and thought I would drop by and leave a message here. Wishing you well on your move and looking forward to seeing your new home. Happy holidays xo
