Christmas Happenings Part 2


Wouldn't a stroll here be lovely?  Thank you for stopping by my blog today...here is part 2 of our Christmas Happenings here in Reno, Nevada...


Monday morning dawned cloudy with rain.  We had to cancel our plans for ice skating.  My husband and I went to the church in the morning to vacuum and set up the auditorium after the big program.


So we went swimming instead. :)




After swimming, my mom took the kids to our house and the adults went out for sushi.  Yum!




After sushi, we had to get some coffee. :)


Then we went to Scheel's and the outlet mall to do some window shopping and ride the ferris wheel. :)



Then home for a little Elf. :)


Tuesday, my other sister and BIL arrived about 7am.  They were able to get some rest where they were staying before they came over to our house for lunch.  Cream cheese potato soup and BLT's were on the menu for lunch. 

After lunch, we got ready for our big family photos that we had taken at 3pm at the UNR campus.  It was cold but thankfully the rain held off until we were done.

Then we drove to Carson City and had dinner at a Chinese buffet.



Everyone is all looking pretty from pictures! :)



Oh those crazies!



There's the lot of us. :)


Then it was off for coffee and the Polar Express train ride!









It was a lot of fun and a neat memory!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
