The last of our christmas ornaments came today! Just in time for us to take down our tree, but not before I hung them on there. And Brenden and my special ornaments (we started a tradition of buying one new ornament, together, each year) were unexpectedly oversized making them that much more awesome. Especially on our undersized table tree. It's fabulous.
Also, the Dance Moms season premiere was tonight. Woo; I'm so excited.
Super excited and surprised and appreciative to receive a gift from the awesome family I nanny for! The sent me a cookbook that I happily added to my collection. I can't wait to start testing out these recipes; I already know what my first one is going to be…maybe...so many choices, and they all look so good.
And speaking of cooking, I can't wait to taste the peanut butter and salty pretzel chocolate bark I whipped up tonight. It looks delicious and the chocolaty, peanut buttery aroma has now filled my apartment. I'll let you know how it is as soon as it is cooled enough to break in to!
Oh and of course finishing the evening watching the Santa Clause (1, 2 & 3), with the glow of Brenden and my Christmas tree lights in the background. Still pretty obsessed.
Hanukkah transitions and it's a wonderful time of year. There is no way you can't smile at least once a day with all the holiday cheer and decorations floating around. Tonights holiday celebration and spirit began with the discovery of Google Santa Village.
Next was a Hanukkah dinner as a gift to our Executive Director. We went to Joey Chui's where all the food was fabulous, especially the sushi, and I ate way too much.
Happy Hanukkah: Night 3. I spent another fabulous day celebrating the holiday. My day began with a nice, hard workout, which was good because there was a lot of eating and indulging to be had. At work we began celebrating with the first annual Latke Brawl, I organized. I was so excited to find out we had 8 contestants. And everyones latkes were so tasty and creative. It was hard to choose a winner, luckily everyone had a vote, and Celina won with a whooping 7 out of 18 votes.
