Deviled Chicken and A Quiet Christmas Eve

This year we didn’t keep anything on Christmas Eve. Long before we decided to stay at home only. Though, once we decided to Tahoe, but we abandoned our plan. So, almost we did nothing. We went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch. Then we did some shopping. I bought a bagful of goodies from Bath and Bodyworks. Then after coming back I remembered that We need some gloves and hats for our forthcoming vacations. So, again we rushed back to Sports Basement. Anyway, rest of the day we decided to stay at home only. So, the Christmas Eve was almost uneventful. Actually, we did want to make it simple, just staying at home, and relaxing. I cooked a little different for the dinner, though I was not in the mood to cook anything. Though, Mr. Man suggested having dinner outside, I only denied that. We already ate out lunch. Anyway, I just cook one chicken dish, and with had chicken with fried rice.

Spanish Chicken with shrimp

Last few days before Christmas are going a little bit hectic. From cooking something different dishes to keeping kiddie’s demand is becoming overwhelming. I’m not complaining at all, I love to be busy, I love to cook different dishes for family and friends, I love to give handmade gifts . Last Friday I invited my friends for a little lunch before going to pick up our kids from school. That was a beautiful time.  We moms, spent together without any interruptions. One of my friends came with a Mason Jar full of Holiday potpourri , that was so nice. Monday evening I was not at home. I took my son to dentist’s office. At that time one of friends, Bella and her two little ones came to give a box full of homemade delicious cookies.

Christmas crafts

I think I'm not managing my time properly. I won't tell that, I'm not getting enough time . I've enough time, but I'm not utilizing in smart way. I thought of uploading a new post on Friday, but till Sunday evening I'm unable to do that. Anyway, the weekend is going pretty busy. Friday I had a small lunch party with at my home with few of my close friend. We had a nice time , tough we spent only one hour together, but everyone enjoyed my cooking. On Saturday we visited one museum, that was very interesting. Hopefully I'll write about that on Monday. In the mean time I did some little crafts, some just for myself, some with my kid, some for my kid, and some for my husband. Here I'm giving the picture all those pictures.

Turkey stuffed chicken breasts

Saturday was a real busy day. On the top of that to was just down pouring. That was a perfect day for hot cocoa and snuggle under blanket. However, we had a loads of things to since morning. In the morning first ,our son has his first violin recital. so, we had to go, as there was no question of missing the first ever recital in life. And that was not the end. We had our first Christmas dinner party of 2016 that very Saturday evening. Mr. Man wanted to make a snacks party. So, I couldn’t make anything night before.  Anyway, the recital went well.

Pear sandwich

The Holiday season is going on well. We are doing some little fun thing everyday. One day we went to the Christmas lighting event in our town. Then, one day we went around the neighborhood to see the Christmas lighting on the houses. In the mean time all of us were down with bad cold. While father and son has almost recovered, I’m still down with cold.

Chicken Soup

The day was not at all a good today. Though, I started very early, and I was very much optimistic that I could do a lot of things. Before going swimming, I thought I could finish all the household chores, including cooking. However, the clock didn’t show any sympathy to me. Very quickly, it started ticking 9:30. I stopped everything, and I rushed to swimming class.

The Advent Calendar at last

At last I made my Advent Calendar. I made it very fast. My target was to hang the calendar on 1st December before my son came back from school. I started it on November 30th. I decided to make some white pockets. Suddenly in remembered some blank invitation cards I bought from OfficeMax in heavy discounted price. I bought them mainly for those envelops came in the packets, which I needed at that time. Those cards were not attractive , at least to me. So, I cut the border out. The size of the white parts came out was perfect for the pockets.
