Weekending | Last of 2015


Happy Monday friends!! Coming off a 4 day weekend is always hard, but the memories made will certainly get us all through Monday and if that doesn’t help then another short week should do the trick!

Christmas Eve


Gary and I spent Christmas Eve at my sister’s house and seriously ate more than I care to admit, but that’s what Holiday’s are for right!? 


An abundance of food, lots of family time & lobster mac & cheese – quite possibly two of my favorite things in the world! 



Christmas Day


We had a super low key, but perfect Christmas day! A breakfast quiche was quickly followed by a run – since it was close to 65 degrees!! Our version of a perfect Christmas dinner – sushi and Gary convinced me to go see Star Wars – and can I just say, very pleasantly surprised!! It was awesome! 




The Rest


There is something so relaxing about having a latte & planning goals for the coming year!! My favorite place to do that – Tatte Bakery


Saturday night,Meg& her husband were in town and we were able to meet up for dinner! It was so nice of them to stop in while they were around the area and of course we never pass up an opportunity to check out a new to us restaurant!! 


Legal Crossing is another part of the Legal Seafood chain, but slightly different menu. We split the wedge salad, my favorite & the linguine with three different types of clams – YUM! 


After saying goodbye to Meg & Mike we made our way to see the show Once


The show was hands down the best performance I’ve ever seen! The cast was all so talented & having not known anything about the background – we could not have had a better time! You can listen to some of the songs here, but my favorite was Falling Slowly


After the show we were both a little hungry so we went around the corner to one of our favorite places – Sip Wine Bar & Kitchen and if you’re ever in town, please stop on to have the mini arancini & mini kobe meatballs…so good! 


Sunday was spent prepping for the week to come and 2016!! I’m so excited for the New Year and new things to come!!

    I ate too much this weekend, too. I felt a little bad yesterday, then I realized it's a holiday, duh, so of course I ate too much. That drink looks yummy, and is that a table full of brussel sprouts. Yummm.

    Looks like it was a wonderful Christmas weekend!! Went with husband to see Star Wars too and was surprised at how much I liked it. Perfect Christmas dinner to me..sushi!!! Loving those burgundy pants you're wearing at you sisters. Such cute outfit. I've been working on planning for 2016 too, seems like I just was working on 2015!! I have a feeling it's going to be a great year for you! 😉 gorgeous!!!

    Have you ever been to Flour near MIT? They have THE BEST cookies. There's a hazelnut chocolate chip that's been haunting me since June! 😉 is the menu at Legal Crossing pretty much the same or is it more fancy? It sounds fancy, lol…

    So glad to hear you had such a nice holiday and that Star Wars was good lol. I've never seen any of the other ones but I hear it doesn't make a huge difference? Yeah for bloggers visiting! Always a great excuse to try out new fun places.

    After everything I ate myself this weekend I wouldn't think my mouth would be watering at your pics – but it is! I want to make lobster mac & cheese SO BAD but I feel like I may never be anything but majorly over weight if I do that, lol! So glad you had such a great holiday weekend, doll!

    It looks like you had a lovely Christmas! The weather was incredible, wasn't it? We were talking about getting tickets to Once, but we never did. That coffee looks divine. We're always looking for new places to find good coffee. Thanks for the link. 🙂 Have a great week!

    It sounds like you had an amazing Christmas weekend with lots of family time! The lobster mac 'n cheese sounds amazing, and it looks like you had your favorite meal for Christmas day, sushi! I'm so glad that you liked Once! We saw it in NYC a few years ago, and immediately fell in love with the show! The cast is so talented, and the music is fantastic. Whatever you do, don't watch the movie! It's an indie film, and the Broadway show is so much better done than the movie was. Glad you had a fantastic Christmas weekend!

    Aaron convinced me to see star wars too! I actually enjoyed the film, but that may be simply because of my extremely low expectations 😉 hahaha

    I consumed my weight in food and cookies this weekend, so you're not alone. 🙂 I'm glad you had such a great holiday, and how fun that you got to see the live production of Once! That's one of my favorite movies/soundtracks, so I'm sure it was amazing. Happy Monday!

    Where did you get that black top you're wearing in your Christmas Eve photos?! It's seriously so CUTE!!! I've never heard of the play "Once," I'm really intrigued. Your hair looks so cute hair up like that. You should totally do it more! Hope you had a lovely Christmas!

    Ahhhh! I love the movie, Once! I'd love to see the show too because I LOVE the soundtrack. I used to play Falling Slowly on repeat. Glad you had a great Christmas! The lobster mac n cheese sounds amazing! You're going to laugh – we ate at my parents' on Christmas eve and then were back at our new house (moving stuff) on Christmas day and I'm pretty sure that I heated up a sausage in the microwave for dinner. Haha!

    Coming off the weekend of Christmas is really tough!! Thankfully I'm lucky enough to have another week off before work

    Everyone knows that calories don't count on holidays duh! HAH. We had Chinese both on Christmas eve and Christmas day.

    Anyway did you like the star wars movie? And what did Gary get you? That looks like an Apple watch? Fancy.

    i was a bit of a grouch this morning, but you're right – it's only a short week so can't complain. those meatballs look delish, and good to know about Once – I've heard of it but didn't know much about it. I ate so much food this weekend and I feel like I've been run over by a truck! need a weekend to sleep off that weekend lol
