Weekend Scenes

We had a very busy weekend but a very fun one - it seemed like all the events fell into one weekend and other than having to miss one Christmas party - we got them all in. 

On Friday Derek and I had our first big date night out - we went into the city for dinner at Ocean Prime and then off to see The Nutcracker - our annual December tradition.  The bubbles and berries martini - very delicious! 


After dinner we walked over to the show just in time for it to start - at intermission we grabbed a drink and picked out a new nutcracker to add to our collection.  I love spending my nights in with Tatum but it was fun to get back into the going out scene! 


Meanwhile back at home Tatum was having a great old time being spoiled by his Lovie and Poppy... 


The next morning we woke up to no snow which we were expecting - mid morning it started coming down and we got to experience Tatum's first snow with him!


We headed out to our second event of the weekend - a tailgate for the Army/Navy game - the snow was actually a fun and festive twist but luckily we also had a heated tent to enjoy when it got too cold.


The snow continued into the evening so we got to enjoy it once we were warm and back at home. Appetizer night is one of my favorite meals.


Yesterday we went on a Santa train ride with some friends - riding along with Santa, singing songs then stopping to meet him and getting back on before coming home.


We spent the rest of the day getting caught up before the week, trying to finish up Christmas shopping online, making another batch of Christmas cheer and enjoying some crockpot tacos for dinner amongst football and Christmas movies.


Have a good week! xx

  2. Such a great weekend! I love your tradition of going to The Nutcracker, and picking out a new nutcracker to comemorate it! Apps nights are a favorite of mine, too, and that picture of Tatum at the end is just too cute.

  4. Yay for a date night! Ocean Prime is so delicious. And I’m so jealous of all your snow! It uncharacteristically snowed in the Texas Hill Country and South Texas on Thursday, but missed North Texas...boo!

  5. Aw yay for date night out! Now I want that martini haha! And girl, you are such a trooper for tailgating in that snow. Although I have to admit, your tailgates are always amazing and having a heated tent is super smart!
