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...

Up this week for workouts will be just Insanity Max mostly as it looks to rain a good majority of the week. Hoping to get in some good walks downtown doing some sight seeing though! Amazing what Amsterdam has to offer!

This week looks to be full and fun, it is our first week of Christmas break after all. Here is what we have planned:

  1. I love the variety in your meal plans!! Sounds like a great week! Tonight our girl scout troop is caroling at a local assisted living home. I am looking forward to watching the interaction between our girls and the residents. I think it will be heart warming!

  2. Enjoy the break!! I'm jealous that your kiddo lets you sleep in. The baby will easily sleep until 8 but our 4yo is always up by 6:30!
