We spent our weekend eating out and going to the movies.But my fave thing that we did was watch the ballet performance of Don Quixote! Friday Night we had dinner at Pogacha (it’s an Italian Resto), I had a coupon that was expiring so I suggested this place. Our food was Ok,nothing special but I like the place coz it’s cozy with lots of nice wall decors!

 

What a great weekend we had here in Washington State!  The sun was out and we went to Alki beach to enjoy the view, got some coffee, and ate fish & chips!  Seattle is such a pretty city; I’m grateful to be living here.  Hubs and I are not into football (but we do watch NBA games), however, we watched the game tonight and I did enjoy the halftime show and some commercials.  I prepared chicken wings while hubby made spinach and guacamole dips and dessert (chocolate mousse).

 

It’s been a long week here in the PNW, with the snow storm and power outage that happened.  We have been stuck here at home for a week.  I made some comfort food and enjoyed some nice time with hubby!  So last Saturday (was safe to get out of the house) we watched the movie Haywire and ate at Red Robin (yum!)

We had a fun and tiring weekend!  We did our first 5K race in cold, rainy, windy Seattle (Magnuson Park). For our “reward” we had Pho after and it was just the perfect comfort food after being outside in this kind of weather.  We also had the first snow this weekend and we spent our Sunday afternoon outside, playing in the snow and then enjoyed some hot chocolate drinks!

We had a quiet weekend this week!  My husband was really busy with work and there’s nothing in the theater that we wanted to see.  We cooked crispy orange beef, watched netflix movies, walked the dog, and organized our Christmas decorations!  I showed Hubby some pictures of my lunch date with Sis and he can’t get over how “yummy” the Jambalaya looked.  He requested we have to go back to Flat Iron Grill so he can get his own jambalaya:) I was happy to oblige!

A week before Christmas, I invited my friend Faye and her family over for dinner!  It’s been a while since we saw each other because with my travel back to the Philippines and her giving birth to their second son,it was just impossible to have a little get together.  It was so nice to see and have dinner with them and finally get to spend time with my godson, Cyrus, and hold her new baby!  We had mac and cheese, mongolian beef, chicken mustard dish and cupcakes for dessert!

I can’t carry him anymore,such a big boy already!

 

I had lunch with my younger sister yesterday at Flat Iron Grill (my fave local resto).  Hubby was out of town/Business trip for the last 3 days so we did a lot of girly stuff!  Lunch then shopping after for some “sporty” clothes.  My sis and I have been going to the gym almost everyday (except Sundays) for the last 3 weeks and we are doing Zumba classes together. This is the first time in my life that I’m really “exercising” HA!. It’s not a new year’s resolution, it’s just that I’ve been wanting to take Zumba for a while now and no more excuses for me not to do it:)

We had a nice NYE celebration at home! We had my inlaws and  our friends. 2011 was one challenging year for me! I’m grateful for the year 2011, but I’m so glad that it’s over and I’m just looking forward to our 2012!!! Here’s some photos of our NYE celebration.

I had a nice Christmas with my husband’s family.  We enjoyed yummy seafood like crabs, lobster, shrimp, oysters and also everybody’s fave the Cheese fondue!  It was my husband who took care of that, he prepared cheddar and gruyere cheese fondue!  It was such a hit!  I think we’ll probably have fondue again next Christmas:)  Santa (husband) spoiled me this Christmas because he gave me an LV bag.  He said I’ve been nice this year(LOL!).  We also spent Christmas eve with my husband’s family(Aunties, cousins, Grandmother) and opened white elephant gifts. All in all, it was a great weekend with family, food, movies, gifts and most specially celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!

We had a nice weekend with lots of food and movies, shopping for Christmas gifts, watched Christmas decors/lights and I’m finally done with our Christmas decorations so we are just enjoying our lovely house:)
