And So it Begins....

We ushered in December with happy hearts

and hopes for a healthy holiday season

I got a bit of a head start on Saturday by putting a few things out

but concentrated on food prep for our gathering that night

along with running my errands as snow was in the forecast for Sunday

love my hot beverage station filled with our favourites

this is something that will stay out now all winter

Sunday I made these baked beans in the slow cooker

this is the easiest recipe I found last year on Pinterest

and Trev loves them so it's a win win for me

and today vacation started

first on the agenda was the groomers

Cooper will not let me brush him and he does not groom himself

he has a triple coat ~ even the shortest hairs on him will mat

so twice a year he goes and gets a "lion cut"

I think it makes him look handsome

when I got home it was time to bake some cookies

3 different kinds

I am going to a cookie exchange on Sunday

so I will make those ones later in the week

it feels good to have these all done

and as of today all the decorations are up as well

we will wait and get our tree this weekend and put it up closer to Christmas

tomorrow more plans and hopefully some more check marks off my ever growing list!

Have a great week.
