Now that we’re back in San Diego, we once again receive our friend Nikki’s annual Christmas cookie box. It’s the BEST. Nate keeps telling her she should sell them for tons of money to rich ladies in Del Mar and La Jolla, but Nikki insists the hard work is only worth it for love, not money.
I live for those dipped pretzels.
Holiday-Birthday madness continues! We had a party yesterday and have more birthday celebrating this week. I think work might slow down this week and I can maybe breathe a bit. Knock on wood.
MONDAY:
– Hot dogs for birthday girl Anna (it was her friend party year, so she gets to choose a meal at home for her birthday)
TUESDAY:
– Macaroni Grill (it’s Cate’s family party year, so she gets to pick a restaurant for her birthday)
WEDNESDAY:
– Leftovers
THURSDAY:
– Chicken Caesar Wraps
FRIDAY:
– Cream of Mushroom Soup
SATURDAY:

SUNDAY:
– Breakfast for dinner (either omelets or waffles)
