The Weekend + Another Date Night

Friday evening started out with a bang… another date night for Mommy and Daddy!  That makes three in just eight days which may be a record since we’ve had kids!  One of our NY resolutions was to go on one date night per month this year, and we’ve gotten a little behind, which has resulted in us apparently overcompensating this last week.  It’s been nice, though!  Plus it gave me an excuse to wear my faux leather leggings that have been burning a hole in my closet since last year.  Aren’t they cute?!

So anyway, our church hosted a wine tasting Friday evening.  There was an array of heavy hor d’ouevres, an assortment of different wines for the tasting, and a jazz quartet for a bit of ambiance.  My favorite wine ended up being the most expensive one, coming in at $54.99 per bottle.  I guess that confirms that indeed I do have expensive taste.  ;o)  We all went home well-fed, happy, and warm.  Not too shabby for a Friday evening.

My grandmother kept the babies for us while we were gone, and when we got back to her house after it was over Olivia was still running wild, and Jacob was like this:

Bless his heart.  He just cannot hang since the time has changed.  I feel the same way, buddy.  I feel the same way.

Saturday was a lazy day.  We had nowhere to be (besides Brian… he had a tennis match at 9) so the babies and I stayed in our PJs (and princess dresses) all day.  We watched the Mickey Mouse Christmas special, we did some more Christmas decorating, and I did a billion loads of laundry while also cleaning the house (which still looks like a tornado hit it, by the way).  We also, of course, watched the Georgia game and Georgia won!  Any Saturday that we win is a good one! 

Saturday evening we went to church and then we joined my entire extended family at our favorite local Italian restaurant.  It’s very tiny so they shut down the whole place just for us which was pretty cool!  After dinner, we swung by DQ and picked up some blizzards to enjoy later.  On the agenda for the rest of the evening was warm fuzzy PJs, snuggling on the couch, and Netflix and chill (literally)… and blizzard-eating, of course.  :o)

Sunday morning Jacob requested donuts, and B and I rarely say no to that, so B headed out and picked up a dozen (waaaay too many for a family of four) as well as a Salted Caramel Mocha for me.  Thanks again, Amy!  I don’t think I’ll ever want anything else again!  And a very special thanks to my Instagram Husband for taking the cute pic of me holding my red cup.  The things this guy does for me!

After breakfast, I worked on a craft for an upcoming blog post.  It’s been far too long since I’ve shared a DIY on the ol’ blog so it felt great to be crafting again… I’m ecstatic to share it with you tomorrow!  Here’s a little sneak peek:

After crafting, I also had a mini photo shoot with Olivia for an upcoming Instagram post.  I can’t wait to share it with you this week also!  It’s been a busy month for the blog!

Sunday afternoon was spent grabbing some sandwiches at Jersey Mike’s for lunch and then heading to a new playground.  These babies love a new playground!

Sunday evening we had dinner at my parents’ house with the usual peeps.  Momma served Santa Fe Soup and jalapeno cornbread muffins (to die for) and a good time was had by all.

I hope your weekend was as merry as ours!  Happy Thanksgiving week!  XO
