Even while visiting Grandma, my morning pretty much starts the same: feeding this little guy…
I also made a big veggie omelet for Mom and I to split.
While it cooked the kids played.
It was a nice morning and a fabulous breakfast!
After breakfast, everyone had errands to run except me! I stayed home and finished the Christmas cards…
while Little Bean napped and Little Guy watched one of my all time favorite movies.
! Once the cards were done (Oh! And if you are a Hallmark user like me, I found a 30% off promo code: SPECIAL30 – It saved me almost $10!) I headed over the Shutterfly to finish a photo book I’ve been working on.
This is my first photobook attempt. I can’t wait to see how it comes out!
Before everyone came back I made lunch for Little Guy and I munched on some veggies with hummus.
Then it was Party Time!
Little Guy played a classic game of "Don’t Touch the Ground" with a balloon…
…and had WAY too much fun with the party hats.
Of course we had pizza and I had 3 slices sans-crust.
They went to Little Bean. He was quite a fan!
Cake Time!
I had a slice.
Plus the 2 bites Little Guy left on his plate. WHY do I do that? It’s a habit I need to stop.
After cake we all had fun opening presents, playing, and chatting. Someone had fun crawling…
…dancing with Dad….
…and standing with me.
Even though we were having a blast, it was time to hit the road.
Little Bean did great!
And Little Guy and I kept busy taking turns playing Angry Birds on the iPad.
Of course there was a car snack involved, but not for me. Little Guy asked if he could open the Sour Patch kids he got for "pre-Christmas."
I said yes and tried one. That’s right.. ONE! I know, I’m impressed too! ;)
When we got home the cat was so excited to see us she even greeted Little Bean!
The house was a mess while we unpacked our gifts.
Mom gave me a new silverware set and Little Guy helped me get organized.
By this time we were already late for dinner, so The husband fed the baby while I whipped something up.
Breakfast for dinner. YAY!
Those are waffles made out of my Quick Whole Grain Banana Pancake batter. One of our favorites.
Dad had his traditional…
and I stuck with just a simple can of soup. Honestly, I was still quite full from the pizza and cake.
After dinner we straightened up, got both kids a bath and sent them to bed almost in time for my new favorite Sunday show obsession: Once Upon a Time. It’s so clever!
Now? Well now I’m watching Iron Chef while snacking on these…
and enjoying a cup of tea.
With our pre-Christmas celebration on Saturday and my Niece’s birthday today, it was an awesome weekend. Now I’m trying to wrap my head around the week ahead. I have a recipe waiting to write-up for GreenLiteBites and 2 Laughing Cow posts to get done by Thursday, I’m behind on Babys1stYear posts, there are 3 BlogToLose chats scheduled this week AND FitBloggin’12 is in full planning mode with speaker applications rolling in and sponsor negotiations started.
Yikes. I better get to bed!
