Weekend Recap

On Friday I met a friend for lunch.  When I was walking home I saw this cute blue jay mural.

Then I finished up work and got ready for my office Christmas party.  We went to Terroni on Queen West.

We had a nice time and it wasn’t too late. 

On Saturday Dave and Q headed out early to go to Home Depot and Canadian Tire to get some stuff for the Christmas lights outside.  

I made pancakes for when they got back and E got up.

We got this new inflatable for our front yard.

I dropped E off at the school where was volunteering at a Lego Robotics tournament and picked up a few things I needed at Bulk Barn and Dollarama.  Then I raked seven bags of leaves which should be the last of them!  Then I relaxed inside with Q until it was time to get ready for another party.  This time it was hosted by our friends in Burlington with a tropical holiday theme.  We borrowed these shirts from the boys.

We enjoyed some Jamaican patties and other goodies. 

On Sunday morning Dave and I were back at Canadian Tire for more lights, because if you’re doing any sort of project, there is a two visit minimum to the store.

I went to church for the first Sunday of Advent, including communion, and then the grocery store.

And after that it was time to get the Christmas decorations out.  Q and Dave worked on the lights and E and I brought all of the boxes upstairs.

Let’s do this!

Lots of work by Dave and Q (and E had helped with the tree earlier in the day).  

A little sneak peak of our decorations.  I’ll do a post of everything when the tree is up.

I made chili for dinner, and then we watched the rest of season 1 of Stranger Things. We have already seen it but E has never watched it so we are watching it all again with him. 

A very productive weekend!
