Today, my holiday festivities begin, in a way, as my mom arrives in town this afternoon. Tomorrow we're going to do a massive grocery haul as we have three dinners in a row to host: Mexican food with my uncle and cousins on Friday, Christmas Eve's seven fishes dinner on Saturday (it's an Italian thing), and then a big for Christmas dinner with my family and in-laws.
Over the holidays, we have two sets of guests staying with us, for a total of eight days. Eight days! That's a lot more entertaining than I'm used to, so I'm planning ahead as much as possible. One of the things I've been thinking about a lot is breakfast. It's a time where everyone is getting up and slowly making their way to the kitchen to start their days, and one of my favorite times of the day.
Six more sleeps until Christmas, you guys! I can hardly believe it, but it's true. Q4 flew by and 2016, the craziest year in so many ways, is coming to a close. Anel and I wanted to do something special for one of our last weekends of the year, so we drove down to Philadelphia for my sister's annual caroling party and made a romantic weekend out of it.

Happy Friday! It was quite the (freezing cold) week here in Connecticut. On Sunday night, I went to my very first NFL game to see the Giants play Dallas with my dad. After four hours in the cold, I woke up on Monday with a sore throat... shocker! I spent the week drinking lots of lemon, ginger tea and getting better because we have a big weekend ahead!
Having a dog is a wonderful amazing joy that I wouldn't give up for the world. But with that joy comes a ton of responsibility and a lot of annoyances. Luckily, with a little work, they're all quite solvable. One is finding a place for him to stay when we travel, which we've solved with Wagmore, an amazing boarding facility that Boots just adores.
