Wind Down the Weekend: Holiday Treats Edition

December 10, 2018 by Rechelle 8 Comments

Oh another Monday! We had a full weekend being productive around home, here is a little peek at the highlights…Thursday night we watched A Charlie Brown Christmas together <3

Saturday was cleaning around the house along with laundry. Hank did talk us into a walk and it was COLD, as in below 30, but the beags didn’t seem to mind one bit!

Upon returning from the bitter walk down our road we declared it family nap time šŸ˜‰

Then ended the night with hot chocolate, YUM!!! I made it with warmed chocolate milk, homemade whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa, & sprinkles of course!

Sunday we were out & about running errands and then I spent the afternoon/evening making some holiday treats – Hubby has a work party on Tuesday so I made a little variety.

Christmas Bark

Candied Pecans and Christmas Pretzel Hugs
Sugar Cookies
I did take frequent breaks šŸ˜‰

And this is how our night ended. How was your weekend?

    Sounds like a great albeit cold weekend! I laughed at you and your hubby all bundled up and the dogs ā€œau naturalā€ . I do the same when I go out, and it’s only in the 50s here! Family nap time…love it. And you outdid yourself with the baking… Take care of yourself, sweet lady. Hoping for a fast and easy work week. You’re busy growing a baby!

      Lol too funny Laurie that you bundle up too, even if it is 30 degrees warmer! Thankfully I had the dough in the freezer so I just let that thaw & baked up some cookies šŸ˜‰ I too am hoping for a fast & easy work week!
