Weekend love.-Capturing moments

Pretty lights, baked goodies, and family time-I could cherish these moments for a very long time. 


I enjoyed evenings spent by our Christmas tree. -It just feels so cozy.



One of my favorite ornaments hangs in the very front of our tree. It's very special to me and represents the love, and bond I have with my daughter. God truly has blessed us.


While deployed to the Middle East- my husband picked up this hand-painted vase. It's traveled around a bit. It's now displayed on a shelf in our living room. 





Our daughter hosted a pastry party. There were plenty of goodies and cakes with delicious whipped toppings. My favorite was the strawberry cake she prepared. 



Our nights included- Art and family play dough creations. 








Our time was spent in the kitchen preparing simple dishes and baking sweet goodies. 
We enjoyed a pesto chicken sandwich, along with a simple cucumber salad. 



Baking was kept simple. I made a quick batch of caramel apple cookies.

How did you spend your weekend?  I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy time spent with your loved ones.

      Dina, how wonderful! (I'm happy that your military family invited both you, and the monster over for Christmas dinner.) I would have done the same for you two, if you were here or I was near you. =) I hope you two are feeling much better. Have a Merry Christmas, and I send hugs your way.
