.TGIF.

Why hello there Friday, so nice to see you! Cheyenne is taking Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday off so even though I am working Saturday & Sunday we actually get a nice {long} weekend together.
We have quite the list of things that we plan on doing: grocery shopping {this includes Christmas menu}, a visit to see Santa at Bridgeport Village, a visit to see Santa at Alpenrose Dairy {because with a toddler im guessing that the man in red might need a second chance}, a Christmas party at Tom & Meegan's home, and a trip to get the very last thing on our Christmas shopping list. Tis the season folks!
However, tonight im making a nice warm soup and crusty bread for dinner with gorilla bread for dessert...and maybe this adorable holiday-inspired cocktail from Entre Nous will make an appearance. Cheers!
