Opa!

Jeff and I could have been an add for My big fat greek christmas this weekend. Well, not really, but we went all out with the weather being bad and I got all of the holiday decor up in the house, except the kitchen. Does anyone else have that room in the house that seems to swallow up the holiday decor? And by that I mean, no matter how much holiday decor I put in the kitchen, I still can't see it! That icky goose wallpaper is just too loud! I mentioned to Jeff doing the sin of all sins and painting the wallpaper (GASP!) just so I don't have to look at ducks until we can afford to do the kitchen the right way!
The greek part of the weekend was courtesy of the Parthenon. We love the Parthenon restaurant and we decided to do curbside for lunch on Sat because I didn't want to cook, and then Jeff thought we should do it again on Sun, so we did! We got the same thing both times (We are creatures of habit) and I'm planning on trying to make the greek dips that I got for a friends party, we'll see how they turn out!
Anyway, the highlight for me was yesterday I got a call from the Chefs (for lack of better term of who they are and wanting to keep anonymity). A new vineyard was just opened on East Adams and 162nd street out in the country. It is called Deer Springs and they had an open house. The Chefs were going and invited me along! Jeff stayed behind to monitor Alaina's naptime, Thanks Honey! They had free snacks, free wine tastings and mulled wine. It was all good! Most of their wines are dry, and dry wines tend to go to my head quickly, so I had to stop drinking the mulled wine or I wouldn't have made it through the day! I bought a bottle to bring to Christmas at my parents. Its called prarie sunset and has just the right amount of sweet/dry ratio that I think everyone will enjoy it!
Oh and a quick Alaina note. We danced to Christmas music and she had fun giving her bear sips of her milk! Pic to follow!
