(Not So) Blue Christmas
Happy Weekend everyone and Merry Christmas #1!
We are about to watch a movie (Jonah Hex) so I am going to post a photo recap! I’m not one to photograph every single bite but rest assured, I have had more than my share of indulgences! Enjoy!
Friday:
Rory Allen, an Elvis impersonator from Regina, SK! He’s so dreamy! We were like little giggly school girls! Thanks for a wonderful and final 2011 date Janet! You are a gem!
Janet and I! PS IPhone photos SUCK.
A note to Rory from Janet…
He loves me 
After Rory we drove out to my folks place! And promptly went to bed…A few glasses of wine for someone who very rarely drinks, well, that does me in!
And then Christmas began bright and early on Saturday!
Jeff before coffee:
PS nice slippers honey.
Jeff after coffee:
Me (and Rudolph) enjoying a decaf mocha and a butter tart:
PS these are my “goal jammies” from 2008. Jeff bought me size XL jammies and I couldn’t fit one butt cheek into them. From that moment on, I knew my life would never be the same. And it hasn’t.
The FOOD was awesome! Most definitely full of treats!
From our bake-a-thon…
Snowflakes (my grandma used to make them and my mom made them for the first time in years this year!)
Noodles and Saur Kraut (a traditional German dish)
Sneaky Cinnamon Bun with cream cheese icing!
Breakfast scramble…
Some nog…
A table…
Some company…
A classic Christmas movie…OK in my family it’s a classic 
Christmas dinner!
A cabbage roll, brussel sprouts, sweet potato, feta and watermelon and onion salad (MMMMM!) and dressing!
Christmas dessert! A yule log! Chocolate wafer cookies, cool whip…A childhood favourite.
Once, as a child, my mom made this dessert and our two cats decided they wanted to dig in…We ate the other half
And breakfast this morning!
Fruit with yogurt fruit dip and a sneaky cinnamon bun with icing!
Now I’m off to enjoy Christmas day…Then it’s back to a week of work and then another Christmas!
Enjoying every bite and looking forward to salads and smoothies,
Katie
WHOA! Delicious! And fun. Makes me even more stoked for Christmas!!
I want that yule log, fruit, feta salad, and sneaky cinnamon bun. Please and thankyou!!
The feta salad was the star of the show…Hands down!
I love your traditional christmas movie! Too funny
Haha I know right?? But Christmas just isn’t Christmas without it!!
Yum, that cake looks really good! I remember reading about your ‘goal’ pajamas and as soon as I saw that picture I wondered if the ones you were wearing were the same ones- how exciting! What a great feeling
It was good!
Something as simple as a pair of $20 jammies from the supermarket really puts things into perspective for me. The devastation I felt when I pulled as hard as I could to get the pants over my knees…Wow. Now they sag and I love them!
your christmas looks amazing! every bite of it… and congrats on the goal pjs. they are adorable.
Thank you…They will always be my favorite pair
Mmmm…the food looks amazing! Love the pjs!!!
Thanks!
Mmmmm….it all looks DELICIOUS…and so glad you enjoyed every bite (that’s what i did this weekend too)….yay for Christmas!
Thank you for a fun final 2011 date night, Katie! Too cool! Looking forward to our next date night in early February. Too bad we didn’t take photos of our fab dinner at La Bodega – that was one of the tastiest dinners ever. Your chick pea patties, my chili salmon, and our shared chocolate fondue … simply delish! Merry Christmas, babe!
