What's Up Wednesday

It's a little early for What's up Wednesday but next Wednesday is Christmas(!!) and then it's January!

What we're eating this week...
I don't really have anything planned - Dave is on deck for meal planning this week. But next week when we have guests, I have that all figured out :)

What I'm reminiscing about...
We were at E's Christmas concert this week and remembering his first school concert.  Also reminiscing about my own elementary school concerts, it was always so fun to be at the school at night time!  Q's first concert is next year.

What I'm loving...
E loves baking which is great.  He wanted to make cinnamon buns for our Christmas party and for his first attempt, he did a great job.


What we've been up to...
We hosted our Christmas Party on the weekend so everything up to then was prep for that. It was so much fun!

What I'm dreading...
Honestly as excited as I am about our trip to Hawaii, the flight will be the longest one I've ever been on, so I'm wondering how it will be.  Hopefully I can stay entertained, and I am glad I don't have to worry about looking after any kids. #firstworldproblems

What I'm working at...
I think I'm done my Christmas shopping aside from a few odds and ends so now just wrapping and doing some more holiday cooking/baking. And also I've got a lot to do at work since we're going away early in January. 

What I'm excited about...
I love our new basement.  I'd like to do a full post about it but I'm not prepared yet, so just check out this photo for now.  It is such a cozy room with lots of space.


What I'm watching/reading...
We are watching The Crown, Parks and Recreation, and House for TV shows and the Christmas movies with the kids.  We watched White Christmas on the weekend with my mom, a favourite, and E loves it too. 

I am currently reading Guns, Germs, and Steel.  My boss gave all of us a copy so I thought I should read it.  It's very interesting but it's a lot of information.  Stay tuned next week for my wrap up of all of the books I read this year and my reading list for 2020. 

What I'm listening to...
All of the Christmas songs.  Spotify has a playlist called Christmas Coffeehouse which is good for listening at work in the background. 

What I'm doing this weekend...
Our Christmas guests (Dave's parents and sister) arrive.  I want to do Jamie Oliver's get ahead gravy and his pannetone bread pudding.  We are also lighting the candle at church on Sunday.

What I'm looking forward to next month...
Our trip to Hawaii!! 

What else is new...
I haven't shared Q's school photos yet.  I will send you copies, family!! I just haven't been able to get them done yet.   He's pretty sweet. 


Linking up with Shay and Sheaffer

  2. OH yummy! I just love cinnamon buns. We were talking earlier this year about saving up for a BIG trip (like Hawaii) and I said the same thing about the flight... I don't mind air travel all that much but I find anything over 3 hours really starts to wear on me.

  3. Those school photos are adorable! And trust me, flights are so much easier without kids. On our flight to New Zealand I just read and slept and it was amazing. Unlike our flights to Kenya when the kids were with us. Ugh.

    I'm excited to see the big basement reveal :)
