You know those weekends that totally don’t go as planned…but still end up being pretty wonderful? Yep, we just had one of those. The ice and snow kept us from a family Christmas that we were all looking forward to…but I’d say we made the most of it by staying in our PJs, watching holiday movies, and eating cookies for breakfast. With the craziness of the holidays in full swing, it may have been just the downtime we needed.
1. One thing did go as planned this weekend and that was Chris’ work holiday party. We got dressed up, ate good food, caught up with friends…and were home and in bed by 10:00. My kind of night for sure!
2. On Friday we got the sweetest Christmas gifts from HowDoesShe–one of which was this darling, laser-engraved ornament. What a keepsake!
3. When you miss a big fun family Christmas, you should at least get to open a present…right? This practice run got me so excited for the real deal!!
4. Another highlight of our weekend in? The arrival of Beatrice & Beau…the bitty twins! We always get the best hand-me-downs from my nieces and nephews, and I knew these two were going to be a big hit. I’m not sure why Nash is performing surgery on Beau in this picture, but I can assure you he loves his “boy”. As for Beatrice, she’s only changed outfits 152 times in the last 3 days. I’d say she’s getting plenty of attention.
5. The sweetest sleeping elf there ever was. And yes, we changed out of one set of PJs and put on another.
6. Day 2 of freezing temps and icy conditions meant another pajama day…and maybe a few surprise egg videos.
7. Arden was hard at work all weekend making little gifts for everyone in our family. The gift wrapping and labels pretty much melt my heart. I can hardly wait to find out what’s inside.
8. As much as I love Nash’s haircut, the unruliness is driving me bonkers lately! Without gel I’m constantly having to swipe it out from in front of his eyes–and this weekend I just gave up. Ponytails are so much easier!!! He kept telling me, “I not want this on my head!” But he forgot about it after awhile…and I decided he’d be a pretty cute girl.
9. We ended our weekend making one of my childhood favorites: Holly! Don’t ask how many are left today…
So here’s what I learned from our two days in pajamas. Though I’d prefer it not interfere with our travel plans, it should totally happen at least once a month 😉
Happy Christmas week, friends!
Sometimes the unexpected is the best!! I love the ornament! It’s so awesome and I think I need to get one. 🙂 Love Nash’s hair in the pony. I cracked up at your video on IG.
That’s too bad your plans were cancelled, but I’m with you in a pajama weekend. Noah is such a homebody and showing me taking it easy is fun too! I love that ornament… It’s perfect!!!
I love weekends like those – we had one too and it was my favorite! Also, Holly. It’s my favorite and I love it and need to make some for this year! SO good! That ornament is the sweetest, I’ll have to remember that shop for next year 🙂
Your weekend seems a lot more peaceful than ours! By about Sunday at noon, I was cursing winter and wishing summer was here already!
Everyone needs a pajama day every now and then!
That ornament is just the CUTEST. I want one and I don’t even have a tree to put it on 🙂 Also, I can’t stop laughing about Nash’s pony and him telling you “I no like this”. I am printing of the recipe for those holly wreaths. A fun activity for the next snowed in/pj weekend!
I want to be iced in for a weekend! I’m all about opening a few gifts, staying in jammies, and making tasty holiday treats.
Looks like you guys made the best of your weekend! Love Nash’s pony, I use to do that to my son at that age. Arden’s gifts are precious. I hope you all had the best Christmas!
