Christmas Party #2

Yesterday was a busy and fun day!

I was so freaking sore that I had the “jerky legs” and could hardly hold a plate of food to eat.  I was just going to hop on the elliptical for some cardio but that was even too much.

I started the day with egg whites, turkey sausage and gluten free toast.

Then I got busy making some soup.  Remember that slicer/chopper I raved about?  Still loving it!

It really makes chopping all the carrots, onions and celery for my soup super easy.  After a couple of hours, I was enjoying a delicious bowl of soup.

After a little nap, it was time to get ready for another Christmas get together!  This one was for Justin’s side.

We met at Wines by Jennifer for a tasting.

Then we headed to a bar for more drinks and food!  Dirty martinis were the drink of the night, but holy salt drink!  That was my first dirty martini and I think I’m good.  My fingers are so swollen this morning, I can barely get my rings off!

And just FYI…drinking a lunchbox (beer, orange juice, with an Amaretto shot dropped in):

may lead to this:

We all enjoyed some fried appetizers.

I ordered grilled chicken, veggies and wild rice for my meal.

Group shot!

Then we all headed back to Justin’s Dad’s for dessert.  Bailey’s and Christmas cookies!

It was another fun evening.  We are both looking forward to staying in our jammies and veggin’ out today!
