Hope you all had a great holiday weekend with family, good food, relaxing and maybe some online shopping too! I am thankful to say I am 99% done with Christmas shopping. I hope to do some wrapping next week while watching Christmas movies. There are so many this year, not only on Hallmark, but Lifetime, Netflix and other outlets have them too. It's hard to keep up with them all!
It was so nice to have a few days off from work and to have our college daughter home. Here are some highlights from the holiday weekend.....
It all started with a parade....an annual tradition since I was a kid.

Time with all my greats!
My dad has a piano, so the kids always love to play with it. My dad played the organ at my childhood church, then went on to play the piano at another church and now plays for fun at home.

I went to just 2 stores Friday and did the rest of my shopping online. My girls went out shopping though with friends while my husband and I went to a local home show. It is fun to see these million dollar homes! Here are a few favorite pictures from those...
I liked how the backsplash went up halfway on the wall with a shelf above it. This kitchen still had plenty of storage in other places for dishes.
This was a vertical pull out drying rack.
Bookcase built in the wall in the upstairs hallway
This was our favorite house!
I liked this back porch, except it had 9 doors plus sliding doors to access it. I am not big fan of tons of exterior doors to a house.
After the home show, we went as a family to see the movie Encanto. This movie is based on a family that lives in Colombia, so it was special to us since we lived there for 3 years. We all really liked it and it was fun to see all the Colombian touches. In one scene, they were eating soup out of traditional soup bowls which I bought there and we use here.
Saturday was spent catching up on things, Sunday was church, family lunch out followed by a game of pickleball and here we are at Monday.
Enjoy your day back into regular routine of life.

What a great weekend! What home show was that? I used to love going to those! My brother in law was a home designer and I used to go because of him, he always had extra tickets to the Vesta home show. I love doing things like that! I always ask people when I first see their home if I can walk around to look at the rooms and such. I love seeing how other people live!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great day, friend!
What a great Thanksgiving holiday! I love seeing all those fancy houses!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice holiday! I want to see Encanto! Love a home tour and I would love those drying racks!
ReplyDeleteI'm 99% done my shopping too and it feels great. Most of my wrapping is done and I too tend to wrap while watching Christmas movies. I'm enjoying the wide variety of them this year while still sprinkling in my old favorites.
