Happy Wednesday! Can you believe there are only 11 days til Christmas!! AHHHH!! I hope you all are excited and enjoying all of the fun festivities that the holidays bring :) I definitely have got the Christmas spirit (it's my favorite holiday, hands down) and have been loving playing all my holiday tunes, baking goodies, and decorating the apartment.
We had a great weekend, filled with delicious food, parties, and shopping of course! And we got to celebrate John's last day of class on Friday -- only 1 semester left to go!
I made this dinner (from Pinterest) and it was a HIT. It is Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas, and I baked as directed (using a frozen bag of peppers/onions), and then used whole wheat tortillas to wrap them up in. YUMMO. John said that it was one of his favorite meals to date -- which equals a big ole SUCCESS in my book :)
not the prettiest dish ever, but easy and yummy! |
Saturday, I got crafty and knocked out a few little Christmas projects (again, thanks to my Pinterest obsession). I made a Christmas Card Wreath, and a decorative Tree Canvas (made from rolled wrapping/scrapbook paper)...I like how they turned out!
Some other decorations in our humble abode.....
my handy chalkboard frame, also seen here |
mini tree :) |
John and I had a delicious and cozy lunch date at Toast on Saturday....it's one of our absolute favorite spots in downtown Durham.
toasted panini and warm butternut squash soup = perfect winter day lunch :) |
I got THIS lovely coat at Anthropologie on Saturday.... while I was supposed to be Christmas shopping for others. But when I saw the sign outside the store that read: "50% off ALL jackets and outerwear!", I couldn't resist. I bought this beauty in the winter white color. I have ALWAYS wanted a winter white coat -- I LOVE IT!! (and it was a steal at only $98!)
navy blue color:
me, in the white version :)
my Anthro finds....I got the orange sweater in the middle :)
Sunday, one of my dear friends, Meredith, hosted a fabulous Christmas brunch, complete with a mimosa bar, hot chocolate station, bloody mary's, frittatas, and an amazing game of "Dirty Santa".
we love ribbons ;) |
From the game, I ended up bringing home:
This cozy scarf
and this nail polish (love!)
Ok, so there is my weekend update! Hope you all are having a lovely week!!
