A Fun-Filled Weekend!

How is it already Monday again!? The days always seem to fly by this time of year. 

We had a pretty busy weekend and despite me having a cold we made the most of it. It was full of lots of Christmas festivities. 

Kyle was home early on Friday which was pretty awesome. I was able to get a bit of rest before the babysitter showed up so we could go to the Five Finger Death Punch and Breaking Benjamin concert.  We bought tickets months ago and there was no way we were missing it. We have seen them both before and as usual they did not disappoint! We had amazing seats and rocked out for 5 hours! 

They both put on a phenomenal show! It was wonderful having that time together!

We didn't get home until 11:40 and it was straight to bed. We were up around 7:30 to get E ready for her Christmas program and art gallery at school. 

Let me just say that it was THE cutest thing I have ever seen. Each class donated items for a a silent auction basket, ours was a date night basket. I was impressed with all of the baskets. My favorite part was seeing all of E's artwork on display that she has been working on in class. Each class had students create 3 unique pieces. These were E's:

Next up was her performance with her class. They performed "Jingle Bells" and "Happy Birthday, Jesus". It was so sweet. Not all of them sang but they were so happy and the cutest little singers.

We just love her school so much and all they do for the kids. They are amazing.

We headed home for a bit and then it was off to Raleigh for E to see Santa! We decided to have a late lunch at Cheesecake Factory beforehand. That is always our go to place when we are up there.

Let's face it, dessert makes every day better!

After lunch we changed E's dress and it was time to meet Santa!

 She did SO much better than we expected her to. No tears or anything.

She was happy when she got her reindeer antlers afterwards haha.

We did try multiple times to get a family photo but for some reason E gets really squirmy and won't stay still haha. Oh well. We had a wonderful day of family fun!

Sunday was a lot more low key. Mostly because it was cold, rainy, icy, and just overall gross out. We enjoyed some snuggles and watched a few Disney Christmas shows. 

It was such a great weekend! I hope y'all enjoyed yours!
