It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas out there! Yesterday my little man and I hopped on a school bus and went to the Festival of Trees with his kindergarten class. It was so much fun! He wrote a letter to Santa, decorated a tree, made a gingerbread man, and we looked at all the beautiful trees and gingerbread houses. I wasn’t feeling festive before this, but I am in it now! Unfortunately our trip was a little rushed as the roads were awful and it took us a lot longer to get there than anticipated, so I am really looking forward to going next year as a family and taking our time.
Cordelia and Daddy stayed home but it’s been a few weeks since I did a weekly highlights post so I wanted to include a pic of her too. ♥
We will be spending this weekend decorating and getting ready for the holiday season (I think a tiny little elf might be making an appearance). Are you ready for the holidays? What are your plans for the weekend?
I am hibernating for the weekend, staying as far away from the crazy shopping as possible 🙂
I am so with you on that – Black Friday weekend shopping is crazy!
looks like you all had a ton of fun. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you Jen! Us crazy canucks had Thanksgiving last month, but I hope yours was wonderful!
Such beautiful trees! I love looking at different trees, that’s why I look forward to “Christmas Around the World” every year in Chicago were they showcase trees decorated to match different countries <3
Oh that sounds so fun! I’ve always wanted to visit Chicago, that would be a great time to go!
Looks like a great week! I love christmas time!

I love getting to be excited through him… and do all of the fun kids stuff all over again!
My week-end plans consists of endless parties and entertaining. Our home will be happy to see my two nephews visiting 🙂 Kids, pets, relatives, and friends….ahhhh love all the get togethers happening during the Yuletide season! 🙂
Oh wow!! Sounds like a busy weekend!! Hope everything was wonderful 😀
Aw, looks like lots of fun! I’m playing catch up with my time off this weekend on the boring stuff like chores!
I am so far behind on my boring chore stuff! I hope you were able to get caught up 😀
Awww he’s a handsome little guy. The Festival of Trees looks like a fantastic event. It’s making me want to go pull out our tree and decorate it.
Thank you so much Erica 😀

Nope – this was all at an event 🙂 It is a beautiful tree though!
Your son is so cute! He makes me remember how excited my son used to be about Christmas 🙂
Thank you Joanna!! It is fun seeing how excited he is, and more so every day!!
Look how excited he is! Oh my! LOL! This really is the best time of year so I can’t blame him for being totally thrilled 😀
It really is! It seems to have snuck up really quick this year but it’s such a fun time 😀
I love the Olaf display! This time of year is so special–your kids look incredibly excited! We haven’t started decorating for Christmas yet since we’re going out of town (to DISNEY WORLD!) but I can get excited for the season through posts like this!
That was my favorite too! So cute!! Oh my gosh Disney World – I am so jealous!!
He literally has the cutest, cheekiest little face! I’m definitely feeling festive. I was walking down Oxford Street yesterday and Selfridges is all lit up brilliantly! Next weekend we’re putting up our tree and decorating! I can’t wait!
