Weekend Highs & Lows #48

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun and exciting adventures  


Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We spent some lovely time with friends and family getting ready for the holidays! 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

On Saturday, I had a Thirty-One party with my mom at her house! It was only my second party and it was so much fun! After her party, the girls came over for Friendsmas! We exchanged gifts, enjoyed homemade hot cocoa and played Mario Party on the Wii U! It was such a fun and relaxing evening. 

{If you need a good idea for a kid or adult, the Wii U provides hours of entertainment for children of all ages.}



Sunday morning we got up and went to go pick out our Christmas tree! I love this tradition with Justin's family - we get up early the first Sunday in December and make our way to pick out our own Christmas trees.  This year was so exciting for us because this is the first year we will have a tree in our house! Of course, that meant the tree needed to be huge - but not too big for the space.  


Everyone picked out their trees and we made our way back to Justin's parent's house for lunch and hanging out.  Another fun year with Justin's family picking out trees.  


Lows:
Justin has been a bit under the weather and did not feel well all day Sunday.  I felt bad for him.

December: Month @ a Glance


Happy December Friends!

Happy December! Can you believe we have already passed Thanksgiving and are quickly making our way to Christmas! I am so excited that we are in December as Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year! I love all of the company, friends and fun things that we do every December.  Not to mention how festive everything gets!

Goals for December

1. Read {at least} one book.  Right now I am still trying to finish What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty.  At this point, I have been reading this book for so long I may as well start it over.  My goal is to read this one and a few others from my OwlCrates!

2. Scripture Writing/ 30 Days of Thankful.  I have been attempting to do scripture writing every day this year {without much success}, but my goal is to be more in scripture as this year winds down.  Maybe I'll be successful this time? Maybe.



3. Hit My Goals for My Thirty-One Business.  Last month I started selling Thirty-One for the first time ever! I was able to hit my first goal with the help of all of my awesome family and friends.  For the month of December, I would like to hit my goal and meet at least 20 new people.

4. Closet Clean Out.  Between Christmas and New Years I have some time off so I would like to take time to go through my clothing and get rid of anything I do not need.  Justin and I have been trying to get rid of things we don't absolutely need - so far it's a very slow process.  




Recap of November

1. Read {at least} one book.  I did not manage to finish What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty.  Maybe December will finally be my month for this book.

2. Scripture Writing/ 30 Days of Thankful.  Does completing about 7 days count? I got so busy I could barely keep my head on straigh.

3. Get the Dining Room ready!  The dining room is still not 100% painted.  Need to get some more paint and finish that bad boy by the end of the year.  


Question of the Day: What fun things do you have planned in December?

I'd love to hear from you!
