Oh man, what a great weekend we had! And unfortunately I have an extreme lack of pictures! Saturday we took the opportunity to start a new tradition with our kids. We had a yummy dinner of just appetizers and then we baked and decorated cookies and delivered them to some families in our church along with a Christmas carol or two. We had so much fun! The girls liked delivering the cookies and seeing familiar faces and Aaron and I were glad to be teaching them that Christmas isn't all about recieving! I'm looking forward to being able to do this every year with the girls! Yesterday we had a great simple Christmas service at Church and then spent the rest of the day relaxing as a family. I know I said this on Friday but I'm overjoyed at how our holiday season so far has been simple and relaxing. It's given us the opportunity to focus on the important things. Today!!! It's Christmas Eve! This is my favorite day! Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but the anticipation of Christmas Eve is my favorite. We're taking advantage of free admission at the Indianapolis Children's Museum and meeting friends there for a day of fun! Then we're heading to a Christmas Eve service at a church here in town. Then home so I can go on a wrapping spree! We've kept no wrapped gifts under our tree because, well, they wouldn't stay wrapped very long. So, that's what I'll be doing tonight! Menu MondayI planned meals for Tuesday through Sunday. After Christmas we'll be getting into our new normal routine. Aaron starts his regular work at the Post Office and we'll have more of an idea of what his schedule will be like. Emmy's out of school until early January so we don't have to worry about packing lunches right now, so my grocery shopping was rather easy. I did a stock up shop this week so the fridge and cabinets are full!
Monday- Spaghetti. I figured I'd fix the girls favorite dinner on such a special day. Tuesday- We're having chili with Aaron's family during our Christmas celebration so we'll probably just end up making sandwiches for dinner. Wednesday- Taco Salad. Aaron found a new recipe in one of our Weight Watchers cookbooks so I'm trying that. If it's good or if I change it up a little, I'll link it up on my recipes page. Thursday- Chicken Pita Pizza. Also another recipe Aaron suggested out of the Weight Watchers cookbook. This one is a little out of the box for us so we'll see how it turns out! Friday- Green Beans, Sausage, and Potatoes. A staple in our house. And easy. Perfect winter meal. Saturday- Sandwiches. Easy easy. Sunday- Chicken N Noodles. Another family favorite and total comfort food. We're supposed to get a pretty big snow storm sometime this week, so I figured I'd max us out on the winter food this week! I hope that everyone has a great Christmas Eve!
