This past weekend was full of fun and time with family and friends. We were busy, but it was a good busy. Lately I have felt such a sense of gratitude for the friends that God has placed in our lives! We have a circle of people that love us, and we love them and their kids. It’s an incredible blessing, and I do not take it for granted!
On Friday, Davis was a carpenter. 🙂 He put on his tool belt and safety glasses from our friends Ryan and Ashley. I love this picture so much! 
On Friday night we watched Charlie Brown Christmas and ate popcorn on the couch. This was one of our advent activities! 
Another advent activity was to decorate Christmas cookies with our cousins! Sarah, Jeremy, Bryleigh, Cam, and Ezra all came over on Saturday morning and we decorated cookies and played outside. It was such a beautiful day that we were able to eat lunch outside, too.
I used the recipe that I posted about on Friday, and the cookies turned out really well. They kept their shape, but were still soft.
P.S. I love how Ezra is looking at his Uncle Todd in this picture. (heart eyes!)
Sarah and I, in our Christmas-colored baseball tees. Apparently we think alike! 
Our sweet pup had to go to the vet on Saturday because of some joint pain. If you have a lab or a golden, you’ve probably seen this happen in your dogs as they get older. I hate that it’s affecting him already! 
On Saturday night we had a team dinner with our Honor Roll Designs partners and friends. We always have fun with them, and it was great to celebrate!
After church on Sunday, we made nachos for lunch. It was the perfect football-watching food! It has been so exciting to watch the Panthers have an undefeated season so far!
I posted the how-to for the nachos on instagram. 
Our friends Adele and Jeremy invited us to a local parade on Sunday afternoon. The weather was perfect to be outside. The parade was quite a small-town experience ;), and we had a great time with our friends! I wish we had taken a group shot! 
Have a great day! Thank you for stopping by!
