Here is a round up of photos from some of our holiday parties this season!
Carol Of The Bells
Our friends hosted a group in honor of the visit of a very special friend of ours. Erin prepared a lovely spread of smoked pork, cheesy roasted potatoes and kale salad. We were holly and jolly and ate gingerbread cookies for dessert!
Silent Survivor Night
What did you think about the Survivor finale!?!?! SPOILER – I was a huge fan of Jeremy last time around, and so he was my pick to win this season back in September. Ellen, Hillary and I all picked winners – Spencer, Kelly Wentworth and Jeremy respectively. We were stoked that they made it to the final four together! For the finale we dressed up like our favorites and crossed our fingers! I was so happy with the ending : )
Before the show started, we made a delicious dinner together – fresh pasta, marinara with grass-fed beef and eggplant, and a salad.
For dessert and during the finale we did a truffle tasting!
The Holy And The Ivy
On Thursday Sarah and I got dressed up and went out to Keswick Hall for a girls night.
The bar there is a hidden gem for cozy nights out! We shared an amazing Keswick Vineyards Petit Verdot along with brussels sprouts, mussels for Sarah and a chicken dish with creamed spinach and potatoes for me.
Dessert fun!!
Merry Christmas week to you all!

Oh man! First of all – I spy Apothic Dark! How did you like it? I am a HUGE Apothic fan but haven’t tried the dark!
Second…I was happy with Jeremy winning but I was rooting for Wentworth or Spencer once it got down to the final 4. I was happy to see Tash didn’t win. I don’t really have a problem with her, I just had others I was rooting for more. And I’m totally a member of team Joe so I was sad when he left a couple weeks ago. haha

Totally agree 🙂

same here. I was really happy Jeremy won but I would have been thrilled it it were Wentworth. She played a killer game! Spencer played a great game too but he was such an ass when he threatened Jeremy at tribal council that I stopped rooting for him.

I’d never usually order chicken out but that looks beautiful!! We don’t really have Survivor over here anymore used to love that show!

I would have been happy with either Jeremy or Spencer. I feel like Jeremy deserved to win on a more worldly level, but looking at in-game progression and play only, Spencer deserved it. I loved Joe, but deep down I knew he’d get voted out so I didn’t get my hopes up. 😀
