Holiday Movie Marathon

Today, hubby and I headed over to hang out at Kate and Nate's house, along with Caitlin, Jason, Amanda, Justin, Kath, Matt, Michelle, and Ben, for a Holiday Movie Marathon.

I don't remember the whole schedule, but starting from when we got there, we had on the agenda:

1. Elf
2. Christmas Vacation
3. Love Actually

I was so busy with the CPR/AED/First Aid certification, grocery shopping, and cookie baking, I forgot to eat lunch. Doh! So I had a bunch of snacks at the party for a late "lunch".

The Eats

Chex Mix, Pita Chips, Mini Quiches

The Sweets

Ooey-Gooey-Butter Cookies (or something like that...what were they called Kate!? lol)

My Quick Chocolate Chip Cookies (thanks Great Harvest!)

Peanut Butter Chocolate cups.

Drinky-drink - red wine

Oh how much did I LOVE the cozy fire?!

I got cozy on the couch with my plate full of food: pita chips + hummus, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, mini quiche, pig in a blanket.

Round #2

Dessert round

I think these desserts deserve some close-ups!

Oh yea!

I enjoyed my eats with Elf! Hubby and I saw Elf for our first date, so the movie holds a special place in our hearts.

After Elf, we turned on Christmas Vacation.

Later on...

Pizza time!

While the pizzas cooked away, I let my friends test out my macro lens...

I think they took some great photos! Perhaps they will get lucky and Santa will bring them a macro lens for Christmas! ;)

Salad

Pizza

Time to eat!

I had plenty of salad and 2 small pieces of pizza - one of each flavor (Margharita and cheese).

I also had another one of those butter cookies. They were so good - like little pillows of deliciousness!

I also enjoyed a little Hot Apple Cider with dinner. Yum! Such a great festive drink!

Love Actually!

Gilbert made a guest appearance!

I totally want some of these cinnamon-scented pine cones for my house! They smell awesome and are pretty, too! Kate said she found them at Target if anyone is interested.

Ahh...so cozy!

A little Prosecco to end the night.

Check out Kath's recap here.

Thank you soooo much Kate and Nate for having us over! We had a great time and are hoping to see another movie marathon next year, if not sooner!
