Rain.  Rain.  Rain.  all weekend long.

*happy dance, happy dance*

I’ve been not-so-patiently waiting to pull out my cozy sweaters, drink hot chocolate and watch Christmas movies.

Yeah, I said it. CHRISTMAS MOVIES.  all weekend.

Which then reminded me. . . grandpa would always make us his “special” french toast every Christmas morning.  It hit a sentimental cord.

So, while my husband is working this weekend – it’s Christmas movies and pumpkin french toast for me!

Alright fess up, who’s already watched a Christmas movie? If so, which ones? Favorites?

If not, will you be joining me this weekend? Great, it’s a date!

ps. don’t forget to check back here on Monday, I’m sharing something VERY exciting! [nope, not pregnant, guess again].
