Our weekend kicked off with our annual sleep under the Christmas tree in the middle of our living room night. Since I was a kid every year we have dragged about a dozen blankets from our top floor closet down to the main floor to make a giant cozy bed by the Christmas tree. Its one of the traditions that I have kept going even since I have been married. Although we have traded the blanket made mattress for a blow up one it is still just as cozy and takes me back to the nostalgic memories of being a kid. My husband has even come to look forward to this time and sometimes will be the one to bring up the idea. As a kid we would always make a big bowl of caramel popcorn and watch a Christmas movie on our giant bed. As an adult I haven’t always carried on this part of the tradition but this year did manage to make a delicious homemade kettle corn. (I will post the recipe later on the week.)

All in all it was a very nice weekend even as low key and personal as it was. Now. . . Hello Monday!
