I've never in my life owned a brand new car! We loved our old Honda Accord but this winter was really pushing us towards something a little bigger with all-wheel drive. Good timing as we are supposed to get another 8 inches of snow today!
I also had to share this from our Lego advent calendar with you...
Yes, that is Santa in a thong taking a shower! Creepy, huh? Gotta wonder about those Lego designers in Denmark.
On to Menu Planning Monday...
We are doing lots of running from house to house this week for the holidays so a lot of the dinners we aren't cooking.
Beef Stew - My mom & dad are driving all day to get here in the snow so I thought a good comforting stew would be great
Olive & Cream Cheese Stuffed Burgers - A dish I never got to last week.
We'll be eating out somewhere in Duluth, I know there is a smokehouse on the list.
Dinner at my brothers
Christmas Eve at my sister's - I'm betting we'll have Swedish meatballs
Christmas at my cousins - The menu includes ham, Swedish potato sausage, beans & potato gratin
Ok, off yo get the house clean!

I really wish i had a 4 wheel drive at the mo - snowed in!! Have a good Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteGreat car!! I have a Jeep so that has been very helpful in the snow. When we bought it, it was our first brand new car and I have to admit it was a good decision.
ReplyDeleteCreepy Santa, especially the thong!
Congratulations on your new car. That's a great gift.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Kat & Matt! Congratulations on your new vehicle! Beep! Beep!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the olive & cream cheese burgers. That reminds me of sandwiches I used to eat in 5th grade. They were all the rage & all of the cool kids would bring olive & cream cheese sandwiches to eat at lunch. My mom stepped up mine a few notches & added sprouts and chopped herbs.
At least Santa had the good sense to cover himself up. Congratulations on your new car, you'll put it to good use this winter!
ReplyDeleteYay! Congrats! I've had a couple brand new cars and I have to say I absolutely love it, no matter what people say about buying used. It's that new car smell and no worries about issues. Have fun trekking around in the snow with your new one!
ReplyDeleteThat Santa is hilarious! Who knew Santa wore thongs, and black no less. :)
Yay for the new car!! I refuse to drive in the winter without AWD - so I don't blame you at all!!
