Hey guys! I hope you had a great weekend. Josh was in Connecticut surprising his dad for his 65th Birthday. I thought it was the sweetest thing. His trip timing was perfect because it gave me time to get ready for Christmas. I finally had time to address our Christmas cards and pick up some presents for Josh. I came up with a doozy that I can’t wait for him to open. Does anyone else get more excited to give gifts than to get gifts? I just love seeing people’s reactions as they open something I got them.
Here’s what else I did this weekend. Don’t forget to link up to your weekend snapshots at the end of this post!
My office has been getting so.much.food lately. Check out these adorable mice a coworker was sent. The ribbon is their tails!
Josh and I went to a Yelp Elite party this past Friday before he left for Connecticut. I was very proud of my cookie decorating skills.
It was at the Hyatt and had such good food. I’m seriously going to come to their lobby cafe just to order some of this deliciousness.
After dinner Josh and I headed over to the Orpheum to see Beauty and the Beast. It was magical. I felt like the Disney story came to life. I feel so blessed that the Omaha Performing Arts exists. They bring so many wonderful shows to Omaha.
There were a bunch of familiar faces in the audience. A group picture afterwards with Joanna, Erin, and Hannah. They all loved the show as much as I did.
Saturday I legit slept 18 hours and accomplished nothing other than finishing the Serial podcast and drinking some wine. In other words it was a perfect day. 😉
Sunday I shopped my butt off. I got our Christmas cards addressed, all of Josh’s presents bought and wrapped, and did light grocery shopping for the week. Afterwards I fueled myself with the hot bar from Whole Foods. It was needed.
I also picked up this super sweet LV Damier Cabas Rivington Tote from Pretty in Patina. I traded four of my bags for this beauty and I couldn’t be happier. It’s going to get a lot of wear!
Questions of the Day: What was the highlight of your weekend? Is your office getting inundated with treats this time of year?
Oohh that bag looks gorgeous!! I love Disney musicals it takes me back to my childhood 😉 Chocolate tastes better when they are cutely shaped, right?
I’m always a fan of chocolate! haha
If I lived near you, i would totally join you for lunch or dinner @ the Hyatt. I’m not sure what I’d want to try first. Ha!
I would love to get together sometime if either of us are ever in the area!
That food from the Hyatt looks delicious! Looks like you had a great weekend and good decorating skills 🙂
I was very proud of my cookie decorating! haha They never look like that!
Great snaps as always – Wishing you a Merry Christmas too!!!

I hope you had a Very Merry Christmas!!
I saw beauty & the beast a few years ago. It was such an amazing production. That bag is gorgeous!
Thanks Jen! It was such a great production!
You have the best photos!!
Food and beauty and the beast does sound magical. I’m glad you had a lovely time!!
It was such a fun time! I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Another fun weekend in the books! I’ve found that my weekends in December have been SO productive, too — there’s no time to lounge around! Parties, presents, eating 🙂 Happy holidays, Erin!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas Madeline! December has been so fun!
That bag is perfection! What a great looking weekend! Happy Monday friend 🙂
I hope you had a Merry Christmas Madeline!
I am SO with you on thinking that it is more fun to give gifts than to receive them. I’m not sure when that changed for me (I definitely like receiving when I was younger), but it has made Christmas time even more special!
Also, love the bag AND I have started downloading the Serial podcasts for my drive home tomorrow. I have heard such good things about them, so I am excited to listen!
Josh loved his present! I got him a trip to Mexico!
I returned the bag. 🙁 When I got home and did more research on it it proved to be a fake. I was so bummed.
I hope you had the best Christmas!! Can’t wait to see you soon!
18 hours of sleep! That is a lot of sleep…I feel like I need that right now after four 12.5 hour shifts. My weekend was all work and no play…literally. I am looking forward to my next day off. Looks like you had a great weekend!
I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
That purse is gorgeous! I have to check out that site. I got my LV on Tradsey.
I had to return it. 🙁 I did some research and it turned out to not be authentic. I was so bummed.
You’ve definitely got cookie decorating skills! And I first stayed at a Hyatt place this past year in Kansas City and I am a fan. Lovely hotels!
They are lovely hotels! I want to stay in one sometime!
Look at those cute little mice!! I love them Erin. 🙂
Were they all chocolate or did they have a filling?
Hope you and Josh have a fantastic Christmas! 😀
They each had a different filling! So delicious! Merry Christmas! I hope you had a great one!
I saw Beauty and the Beast when it came to town in February. My mom and I went together. You’re right, it was magical 🙂

I loved Beauty and the Beast! Seeing it was so special!
