Happy Monday everyone! It’s Christmas week! Is anyone else freaking out about all they have left on their to-do list? We still have to mail out our Christmas cards! haha Oh well, at least this weekend was a fun one. Don’t forget to link up to your weekend snapshots at the bottom of this post!
Ugly Sweater Contest
On Friday we had an Ugly Sweater Contest at work. And I won!! I was wearing this glorious Tipsy Elves cat sweater. It jingled as I walked and everyone said they thought Santa was coming as I walked around the office. 😉
Greek Date Night
I’ve been having so much fun with Josh’s advent calendar. Friday night his gift was dinner at Nalini’s Gyros. Neither of us had been before and we both loved it!
Patcha Soap Event
Saturday morning Josh and I headed to Whole Foods for a Pacha Soap event. I’ll be sharing more about this in another post but it was a fun and delicious morning.
Heritage Birthday Dinner
Saturday night Josh and I headed to Heritage to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Check out this birthday menu they created for her complete with special drinks!
There was tons of delicious food:
A birthday cake for the birthday girl.
Junior League ladies!
And an awesome after-party where I learned that Snapchat, while very fun, should not be utilized after 2am. Some drunk ramblings just do not need to be broadcasted to the world. 😉
Christmas Lights Tour
Most of Sunday was spent recovering from Saturday. I swear Josh and I really 75. Sunday night Josh’s advent calendar present was a Christmas lights tour! I found the deal on Groupon and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. Basically you board a bus, listen to Christmas music, and drive around taking in the Christmas lights.
We saw some beautiful lights. It was so nice that neither one of us had to drive so we could both enjoy taking in the sights.
Questions of the Day: What was the highlight of your weekend? Are you ready for Christmas? Have you ever woken up to discover embarrassing Snapchats on your story? Do you drive around to look at Christmas lights?
Aw that Christmas lights tour sounds fun and so much better than doing it on your own! Heritage sounds like my kind of restaurant 🙂
What a wonderfully ugly sweater! Such a bonus that it comes with sound effects. 🙂 Have a great Christmas week!
I can’t even with the cat sweater. So epic. Looks like you had a great weekend!
That ugly sweater! I love it! You always eat the best foods on the weekend 🙂
Your weekend looks like it was amazing! All the food looks delicious but especially the greek. I love greek food! What a great way to see Christmas lights, too! Good idea! And your Ugly Christmas Sweater! It’s awesome!
I love your cat ugly sweater! I love Christmas lights so a lights tour sounds like such a fun holiday activity!
Have a very Merry Christmas!

The bus tour of the lights sounds like something I would love to do – what a great idea!
The highlight of my weekend was actually driving around looking at Christmas lights! We do it every year and it is something I look forward to the most. Ummm….yes I am very much freaking out about Christmas. So much to do and so little time to do it. Hope you have an amazing week!
All of the food you posted looks delicious! I also love the sweater. Ugly Christmas Sweaters have been my favorite things to find this year!
Yeah I think it’s safe to hide the phone when drinking!! I’ve definitely never done any video, but some weird snapchat photos have emerged. 😉
That holiday lights thing sounded fun! I definitely meant to buy that groupon but things get so crazy around the holidays. I wonder if they do it after Christmas…
Okay I feel like I’m going crazy..I thought you were blogging full time?? I literally thought the snapchat “work parties” were blogging parties haha. #imgoingcrazy
How fun! Glad you had a great time!
I LOVE ugly Christmas sweaters so much!! It is far too hot for them Australia, so we normally have a Christmas in July party just to use them. 🙂
Great! Food looks heavenly! 🙂
Loved your ugly Christmas sweater, lady! Happy Christmas week!
