"Oh Baby You"

I want to start by saying that I am not promoting what brand the commercial is for...I just like the commercial. It reminds me of something that would happen in a cab ride home with friends of ours after a night out.

And tonight...let a stranger drive you home if you ring in the new year with drinks!

Just hang tight, k?


I am writing this mainly for one person. ;) I promised I would have pictures of Macie's birthday party, but after thinking, she is having her "girls" party in a couple of weeks. With that being said, I will just wait and do a full on party post.

But Macie's family birthday party was a blast and included Mexican food, a BMX style bike and lots of fun presents...perfect for our eight year old.

EIGHT YEARS OLD!!

Insanity, I tell you.

Four hours later...

On Saturday the girls and I spent the majority of the day tackling the toy room. I meant to get to it on Christmas Eve but then Zoa got sick. The closets are cleaned now, toys are sorted through and the new toys have found their home.

Before:


After:



As they say...out with the old and in with the new!

Christmas 2009

Christmas Eve with my dad...


Zoa started feeling a bit better toward the end of the night. Thankfully she was 100% better on Christmas morning! Christmas morning was spent at home...the girls were happy and we were tired.



Mid morning, my mom came over and we did Christmas with her.


After a run out to my grandparent's and a afternoon movie, we headed to Jeremy's parent's.



The girls got everything they could ever need and the new toys have found their place in the toy room! Thanks to everyone that helped make the Christmas wonderful!

Not where a five year old should be on Christmas Eve

Hopefully next year, the flu will decide to not hit Zoa on Christmas Eve.

{notice the bucket?}

A favorite carol...

Although I have not been the most loyal blogger lately, I wanted to let you know I will start posting again on Monday. Until then, I will be tied up with the holidays and family...and loving every minute of it!

I leave you with one of my favorite Christmas songs....enjoy!


Merry Christmas!

Menu Plan Monday: The Week of December 13

It seems like forever since I menu planned! I set all my post last month to post automatically since I decided to do the monthly plan again. Even though I miss out on some deals, it is worth it my time to only have to go to the store a few times a month as opposed to each and every week.

Jeremy got a smoker for his birthday. As we speak, two pork butts are finishing up. So when you see leftovers so early and frequent this week, that is what I mean.

Here is my plan for this week...

Monday: Hamburgers, oven fries and a veggie
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Roasted chicken, a veggie and mashed potatoes
Thursday: Salsa chicken, rice with corn
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Beef and broccoli

Sunday: Chicken caesar wraps
