How was everyone’s weekend? We had a very nice low key weekend. It was so nice to just not have to do anything. I think when the holidays are up and coming it’s so easy to get swept away with the busyness and you forget to stop and take a moment and breathe. That’s what we did this weekend. We just breathed.
We did have tickets to go to a Blazer game in the Bank of America Suite for Sunday night. But Saturday evening, Josh and I were still feeling pretty tired and we just wanted to be with the kids, so we gave our tickets to some friends who really would of enjoyed it more than we would of. Instead, Sunday evening, Josh and I made a delicious dinner of Stir-Fry.
We will be blogging this, but we didn’t take any other pictures than this one. But oh my word it was yummy. It’s a fast and low- calorie dish at only 420 calories per serving. And we changed the recipe up just a bit. But, we will certainly make it again very soon and we’ll do a post on this meal that will really do it justice.
Josh and Gracie finished the Christmas decorating Saturday evening. They hung lights outside on our deck and in our front room window and it just looks so pretty and inviting. I love this time of the year! Have you all finished your decorating yet? I still need to get a centerpiece for my dining room table. I want some pretty fresh flowers, but I haven’t found anything I like yet at a price I want to pay. I’m thinking of going with some Red and White carnations because they live a good while.

I’m not to sure…I was thinking about making a Pumpkin Pudding or something…
I’ll update later if I make something else :)
I’ll be doing a lot of baking next week, because I’m doing the holiday snacks for Awana and I’m debating between Sugar Cookies or Gingerbread men. I’m leaning toward Sugar Cookies, because I know Gingerbread dough can be difficult and I’m not sure if I want to do something that crazy right before an Awana night.
