Weekend Fun

The snow started on Thursday for parts of Ohio and continued on and off through the weekend.
The snow we received on Thursday almost immediately turned to a sheet of black ice.
Accidents and closed roads were everywhere!
Things were back to normal for the Friday morning commute.

Thankfully we only got a dusting of snow until Sunday evening, but the temps were super cold all weekend!

On Friday, I bundled up with one of my favorite plaid scarves,

and even tried curling my hair with my flat iron (epic fail).

Any tips on how to curl with a flat iron are greatly appreciated!

The only bonus I got from using the flat iron instead of my curling iron was the body. I love big hair, but can hardly ever achieve it!

Friday afternoon I loaded up the back of my Jeep and donated a ton of toys to Toy Time. 

I have been wanting to do this for awhile now, and was happy to get it done before Christmas.

I loved seeing how much fun X had with some of those toys, and I wanted to spread the cheer :)

That evening was super low key.

We sat by the fire, watched some cartoons, X enjoyed his first candy cane of the season, while Mic and I enjoyed some yummy adult hot chocolate :)

On Saturday morning we finished decorating the small tree in the basement before X headed off to Grammy & P's house for the day.

Mic and I haven't had a date or just time to ourselves in quite awhile, so the break was wonderful!

We headed down to Columbus to do a little Christmas shopping, sip on some red cups, and have a nice kid-free dinner.

It was cold, but otherwise a great day!

We crossed a few things off our to-do list as well!

 The delicious pretzel bites from Matt the Miller's Tavern.

There are a few in Columbus, but the Dublin location is one of my favorite places to go :)

I realized Sunday morning that I didn't take many photos on Saturday :( #bloggerfail

But we were just enjoying ourselves and that was what was most important!

Sunday morning meant grocery shopping and laundry before watching the Cleveland Browns game.

Had I known that only a few players were going to show up (it was a bad game), I would have gotten a lot more done.

The life of a Browns fan.

The snow started coming down more before X's nap yesterday.

He was super excited! He can't wait to go outside and stomp around in it! lol!

I need to get him some boots asap!

Any suggestions?

The rest of our Sunday we caught up on dishes, picked up some toys, and Mic got a little office work done.

Other than that, it was bath & bed time.

How was your weekend?

Did you get a lot of snow where you live?

How is your Christmas shopping coming along?

Does anyone else go Black Friday shopping?

Happy Snowy Monday!

And it has been awhile, but I am linking back up with Bella & Lisa today for
