Happy Monday!

Can anyone believe it's December the 8th? This year has truly flown by... Christmas is coming so fast!

I have MUCH to do this week as we are hosting our Holiday Open House next Sunday!

Here's a quick look at my plans/goals for the week:

- daily quiet time
-daily advent reading with Matt
- try and maintain the house this week since right now it's clean!
-finish buying groceries and paper goods needed for Sunday
-make Reservations for Matt and I's anniversary date Friday!
-give dog a bath
-Bake/Cook/Bake/Cook!:)
-complete Matt's Christmas present- seriously, Christmas shopping should NOT be this difficult!
-hopefully wrap a few gifts to have under the tree
-finish putting up last few decorations
-catch up on Thank you cards
- oh and I REALLY want to watch some Christmas Specials- Charlie Brown is on tonight!

Menu:
(this is what I'm thinking so far, we have a semi-busy week so we'll see!)

Monday- Crock pot Salsa Chicken w/ black beans, tortillas, chips and salsa

Tuesday- not sure yet! It's Matt's last day of school so I'm trying to think of something special!

Wednesday- Peppers stuffed w/ Italian sausage, rice, tomatoes and cheese and a salad or a homemade pizza w/ the same toppings (minus the rice!) - I'll see what sounds better come Wednesday

Thursday- Italian Breaded Chicken w/ Mashed potatoes and sauteed broccoli

Friday- Anniversary Date night! (we are celebrating a couple weeks late, actual anniversary fell on Thanksgiving)
