Table For Three: December 2012

Friday I returned back to work after being off for 10 days. I thought the day would drag on, but it actually passed really quickly! Jeremy had Olivia with him at work so I picked her up and saw she wasn't feeling good :( She was warm and her nose was runny and you could just see it in her eyes! Poor Girl. Luckily, when I had come home on my lunch break I threw dinner together in the crockpot!

(Loaded Baked Potato Soup)

So we had soup, relaxed, played and then both called it an early night.

SATURDAY

I FINALLY got to try out our new keurig!

I absolutely love it! I understand all of the hype now! We received it for Christmas from Jers parents and received lots of diff Kcups to try too!

Olivia and I spent the morning playing and let Jer sleep in. (We were up right before 7am!)

Once Jer woke up we went and got breakfast and ran errands. When we got home we had lunch and then Jer headed to work. Olivia and I took a nice afternoon nap and then checked the mail and Olivia received a cute gift from my aunt and her family. Olivia LOVES Mickey Mouse club house so she was ALLL about this toy!

We then went to the grocery store and then came home and made/ate dinner!

(Of course Minnie came with us! haha)

This pasta turned out SO good and EASYYYY!! I will post the recipe later this week!!

I let Olivia stay up until almost 9, she was just being SO cute and good! We played in her room and read books. I soaked in all of the mommy/daughter time for sure!! :)

SUNDAY

Sunday Jer let ME sleep in! Which was nice. We hung out at our house for a little bit and then tried out a new to us diner for breakfast. Olivia was SO cute at breakfast!!

The waitress took our bill before we paid so Jeremy went to go find her to give her money but turned out that another customer wanted to pay it forward by picking up our breakfast bill! I thought that was SO nice! So we wanted to do the same for someone else, so we picked up another customers tab. I really love this time of year!! :)

After breakfast we did a bunch of house stuff before Jeremy had to go to work. I gave Olivia lunch then put her down for a nap. I didn't feel tired so I caught up on the dvr and did some laundry. When Olivia woke up we had a snack and watched a couple of her shows. The rest of the day/night we just hung out at home.

Olivia was being SO cute and silly at bed time! I loved her zebra pjs and slippers too! I just adore that girl to pieces!!

We are still playing catch up on laundry and what not from being out of town so much these past couple weeks but it was nice staying home this weekend! :)

How was your weekend?

Christmas 2012

We did Christmas Eve/Christmas a little different this year. We decided to spend both at our house just us 3, and then went to Jer's parents house for just our immediate family (Jer's parents and siblings) christmas.

At first we felt a little selfish, but we had no regrets. It was nice not having to spend the holidays in the car and not have to share Olivia! :)

CHRISTMAS EVE

We spent the day in comfy clothes. Jer made us a big yummy breakfast and we napped and literally did NOTHING!

We went to Panera for lunch and then went to the grocery store for some last minute things for dinner!

While we cooked dinner Olivia played with her new toy from my dad. It is a cute little kitchen set, Olivia LOVES it!!

We had shrimp cocktail for an app, the shrimp were HUGE!

Then Prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole for dinner!

(I like mine a LITTLE well done! ;) Jer sears mine!)

After dinner, we let Olivia open one gift. She of course loved it! She opened the Elmo that sneezes!

After Olivia went to bed I became a ~~wrapping slave~~ Elf!

CHRISTMAS DAY

Christmas Day we had one VERY happy little girl!

She RIPPED though her presents and then we got ready and went to church. Olivia did pretty well. We did (I) took her in the hallway a couple times but it was because she was a WIGGLE WORM! She made friends with a little boy and she was being SO SO cute! I love seeing her interact with other kids!

The rest of the day we hung out around the house, ate left over prime rib and then packed to head home.

On the way down we had dinner at Zehnders in Frankenmuth and it was seriously SO good!! I loved all of the holiday decor, the atmosphere and of COURSE the food!!!!
