Getting in the Christmas Spirit

This weekend was a perfect warm up for Christmas in so many ways.  We went out for dinner and saw the Nutcracker on Friday night with some friends.  Then Saturday Lily got to go to a Girls Scouts Christmas event most the day.  Then in the evening we had dinner together followed by movie night.  Complete with hot cocoa with candy cane topping (Lily's idea).  Then on Sunday we got to have brunch at the club with Santa & Mrs. Claus visiting and a great cookie station.  Followed by a whole house full of friends all Sunday afternoon for soup, chili and some serious cookie baking and decorating.  Super fun times, but I was so busy making cookies I didn't get any pictures of our cookie making.  Ugh.
