Me on Monday: Weekend Before Christmas

Happy Monday Everybody! How was your weekend?
Mine was a getting a fresh haircut kind of weekend.
A walking the dogs on the bluffs on a windy day kind of weekend (satisfying #10 on the Wintertime Photography Scavenger Hunt).
A going to see the new Star Wars movies with my two boys kind of weekend (loved the movie and loved spending the time with my husband and son).
A grading an endless number of exams kind of weekend (the cats like to help).
And finally,
A baking cookies for the cookie exchange I attend every year kind of weekend AND
A celebrating kindof weekend because my plate of Italian Ricotta Cookies (ringed with brownie Christmas trees) won the vote for "prettiest cookie"!!! Long time blog readers know that every year I strive to win a prize at the cookie exchange (and rarely succeed).
So, all in all, it was a very nice weekend before Christmas around here.
How was your weekend?

    Sounds like a great weekend. Recently I've been enjoying being a first time grandmother and the mommy of a brand new kitty, an early Christmas present.
