Menu Plan Monday #65

I cannot believe how quickly the month of December is passing by! My kiddo is officially on her three week school holiday and I am so happy! This means three glorious weeks of not waking up until the husband's alarm goes off, and then for one entire amazing fabulous week when the hubby is off too we can sleep until our heart's content! Squee!

Anyway. Moving on. This weekend we finally got around to decorating our Christmas Tree. This was the first year we didn't have a tree in storage to decorate as soon as Thanksgiving was over so it took us a while to get up. We aren't 100% done with it yet, but I will do a holiday home tour as soon as it is done. Here is a sneak peek though...we went with a silver and red theme.

We have this adorable owl sitting atop it for now until we get a nice topper. I'm hopeful I may find a canal house or something! hahaha

Our tree twinkling and aglow. I love it when it isn't quite focused.

Today while I cheer I went on a run and found the nearby fort set up for Christmas:

Tonight the husband is off on a business trip so the kiddo and I have the house to ourselves. We made a fabulous ravioli dish hubby won't eat and watched a few too many Gilmore Girls ;)

Moving on...
