It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Ho-ho-ho, Happy Monday, everyone! My family and I are neck-high in the Christmas spirit today! We spent the whole weekend doing holiday stuff. This is the first year my kids are really aware and excited about Christmas - it is so fun to experience it all with them.

Friday my hubby had the day off and we took the kids into NYC to see the tree and FAO Schwartz.

I can't believe how good my kids were that night. Even when we had to wait 45 minutes for our dinner, they were just happy and calm. I may or may not have had a patty melt with the most delicious french fries that night. But, we did do quite a bit of walking, so I call it a wash, lol.

It was the perfect night in the city. The crowds were there, but not as bad as they could have been. It was slightly chilly but not uncomfortable, and the tree looked amazing.

Saturday was a snow day! We got half our lights up outside before the snow came. What was supposed to be 1 to 3 inches turned into 5 inches of the white stuff! We spent the rest of the day putting up our indoor decorations and watching movies with the kids.

Yesterday was a gorgeous day again - chilly, but the sun was out and everything was covered in snow. It was a perfect day to get our tree. We went to a local Christmas tree farm and cut down our tree. The girls LOVED it - such a fun day!

My food choices were okay this weekend - I did indulge a bit, but kept it under control, and a little scale preview shows me about the same as Friday, so I'm happy. Today I'm planning on a home workout - I might pull out my old P90 DVD and give it a shot.

Oh - an update on my friend and her little baby boy. They are both doing well! Little Thomas is still in the NICU and will probably be there for at least the rest of the month. But, he's doing everything he's supposed to be doing, and my friend gets to snuggle with him every day. Thank you to everyone who prayed and sent good thoughts their way.

Have a great one!
