Hello Friends,
I hope you are doing well. I had a good weekend visiting with family and friends. I started the weekend off knitting the headband and posting a Blogmas post. Then I went to get a fresh hair cut and felt so much better afterward. It looks nice just in time for the holidays. I wrapped up some gifts to bring over to my parents place to have them under the tree and ready for Christmas day.
I then drove in the snow, rain, slush weather to visit my family. I was a bit worried about the weather, but it was okay driving to visit them and glad I didn't have to cancel my visit. I just took my time and didn't drive too fast. Once I arrived, I had some coffee and fruitcake with my mom and we chatted.
We sat with our two cats Moo and Roo for awhile while we waiting for my dad and sister to come home. Moo came over on the couch to where I was sitting and lay down halfway on my legs and half on the couch. We sat like the photo below for a good 15 minutes. He enjoyed the chin massages and the pets.
We ordered Thai food for dinner and I loved the garlic shrimp, the shrimp Pad Thai, and the spring roll. We had some red wine and caught up and we had Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman on in the background, it was playing on TV. I slept over in my old bedroom at my parents house.
The next morning, my mom made us eggs and toast for breakfast. We chatted more and then I went to have lunch with my friends and exchange gifts. We met at her condo and she had put out a nice spread of food for us. We exchanged some gifts, I got them some chocolates, lotions, hair masks, and makeup sponges. My friend got me Ferrero Rocher chocolates and face masks! I love the chocolates and can't wait to try out the masks. I really got into using face masks this past year and find them so relaxing to put on. My other friend got us some fun DIY projects to work on in the new year next time we meet up.
I did some shopping for a few last gifts for Christmas for my family and Liam. I still have a couple of gifts to buy this week, then I will be done finally. I have a secret Santa gift exchange on Wednesday at work and have to buy some gifts up to $20. I still don't know what to get because it is going to be a game where you aren't buying for a specific person and you pass the gifts around according to a story. Then I drove home and Liam and I ordered pizza for dinner. He just got back from some time spent with friends. We are relaxing now and I wish the weekend could go on longer. I am feeling more in holiday mode now, so I feel like I am looking forward to time off soon for Christmas. I have Friday off this week and am looking forward to having that time off to spend time shopping and going to a Christmas Market with Liam.
What did you do this weekend?
Thank you for visiting!

So nice that you were able to visit your family and have a nice time with them. Driving in bad weather is so stressful!!
