What's Up Wednesday

Linking up for the LAST What's Up Wednesday.  How sad is that?  This year FLEW by!

WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK:

Monday:  We had some friends over for supper and had pulled pork sandwiches (Brad had smoked some pork on Sunday, YUM!) and homemade mac-n-cheese.

Tuesday: Beef Pot Pie: Brad had also smoked a steak we had in the freezer that we needed to eat up, turned out awesome!

Wednesday: Tacos

Thursday: We are heading out for supper with friends

Friday: Girls will be at my moms overnight so not sure yet what we'll do!

WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT:

Last year at this time I was in full on stress mode as I had my trial in January (I was in a car accident several years ago and decided to sue the insurance company to pay my bills).  We didn't "win" per se, and we are still fighting it, ugh.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO:

Fitting in all the last minute Christmas stuff.

Sunday my mom and I met for lunch and decided we needed to make that an annual thing, just to get together before the holidays!  Later that day we went to our local brewery for a Christmas show.  Rach had to work and Alayna was at volleyball practice.  It was fun to see all the Christmas outfits (and drink the beer!)

Tuesday night we did our annual drive around town looking at Christmas lights.  We whip up some hot chocolate and tea (for mom) and drive around.

So beautiful!

WHAT I'M LOVING:

Emma had her girlfriends over last Friday night for a Christmas party.  They are such sweet friends and they had a blast!  I made them a hot chocolate bar for breakfast.

WHAT I'M DREADING:

Taking down Christmas decorations??

WHAT I'M WORKING ON:

Getting my goal sheet done for 2018.  I like to write everything down and then look at my progress throughout the year.

WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT:

Need I say more?

WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING:

We're still watching allllll the Christmas movies!  And of course listening to all the Christmas music.  As far as reading goes, this month I read "Still Alice", oh my goodness, SO good, but also so heartbreaking.  It's about a woman who finds out she has early onset dementia.  I also read "Delicious" which is about a young woman who moves to New York to work for a food magazine.  I liked it, but got somewhat bored in the middle.  

I had to include a pic of this little scheister.  She seems to think my book light is a play toy...

WHAT I'M WEARING:

The same, nothing too exciting!  I did find a really cute reindeer Christmas to wear on Christmas Eve!

WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND:

Christmas!  Saturday my mom and her husband are coming over for supper, then Christmas Eve we go to Brad's sisters in the afternoon. We come home around 7, and enjoy appetizers and our family Christmas.  Christmas Day we go to church in the morning and then to Brad's parents.  It will be busy!  I took off the 26th and am excited to just relax!

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:

Nothing specific, it's actually going to be crazy with Rachel and Alayna being in club volleyball.

I hope and pray that each of you has a wonderful Christmas and that you are able to spend time with those you love...

Merry Christmas!!
