Sequins and Sea Breezes: Weekending

Weekending

1/04/2016


Happy 2016 my friends! Hope everyone had a wonderful time ringing in the New Year! I am still in shock it's 2016. In fact I think it will be at least March before I'm finally writing 2016 instead of 2105 {no joke, I just wrote 2015 instead of 2016 and had to correct myself}. The struggle is real. Since I'm exhausted and wishing I was still in bed let's hop right into my weekend recap with the lovely Biana!

I took of New Year's Eve to relax, clean the house and get some stuff done before the new year. I always like to start the new year with a clean house! Kerri, the boys and I headed out to dinner at Bonefish to start our New Year's Eve. Although we had reservations we still ended up having to wait a bit, which I expected, but we were right near the door so it was awesome people watching.


After dinner we headed back to my house for some champagne, games and football... in our pajamas. Yup, that's right, we ended 2015 nice and cozy in our pajamas and it was glorious. Several games of Exploding Kittens and Cards Against Humanity were played while rocking out to hits of the 90's and we were in bed by like 1:30. The perfect NYE in my opinon!


Friday morning I was up bright and early making breakfast before heading out to the Citrus Bowl to watch the Gators take on get beat by Michigan. I'm not a huge Florida fan but I'm the farthest thing from a Michigan fan so this was hard to watch but our seats were in the second row literally on the 50 yard line so I couldn't complain.

We were literally so close I could hear Jim Harbaugh have his little girl breakdown and yell at the official in the third quarter. My only other complaint (besides FL losing) was how hot it was. The heat index was 91... definitely hard to believe it was January 1st. Especially since a cold front came through the next day!

Saturday I slept in a little and relaxed a bit before running some errands and taking down the Christmas decorations. It was definitely bitter sweet since I never really fully got into the holiday spirit this year but it's always nice to have my house de-cluttered after the holidays!


Sunday we went to Brass Tap to watch my Bengals take on the Ravens before heading out to Disney even though the weather was awful to enjoy the Osbourne Family Spectacle of Lights one last time. The lights ended forever on Sunday so despite the cold temperatures and the rain I'm really glad we got to go one last time (I know, I know, I say that every time but this time it really was the last time!).

  3. I love cleaning and decluttering the minute a new year starts! I feel like it always gets things off right :) Looks like a super fun weekend! Our cowboys totally sucked up the last game and ended the horrible season on a horrible note, so I was pretty bummed about that! Have a great week!

  5. How you guys ended your NYE is how we spent ours too....and I'm not mad about it either. I think NYE should always be in PJs haha. Love that sparkly jacket/blazer and I can only imagine the people watching on NYE was amazing.
    So nice that you guys got to enjoy the lights one last time, just stinks the weather was so crummy! Hope your week is off to a good start! Happy New Year!!

  21. You girls looked gorgeous for NYE! I'm so jealous of your warm weather - I think the high here yesterday was somewhere in the 20s. Glad 2016 is off to a good start, friend!

  22. Your new years plans sounded perfect. I actually love doing nye at home instead of our in the crowds. Love that sequin jacket btw! Pretty awesome that you had such great seats for the citrus bowl...too bad the gators had no idea they were playing a bowl game that day...so disappointing.

  23. It looks like you had blast, and I love that sequined jacket that you wore, happy 2016!

  24. Spending NYE in your PJs sounds like the perfect way to ring in the New Year! We had a similar NYE and it was wonderful! I've never heard of the Exploding Kittens game, but I think that I need to look it up! I'm always looking for new games to add to our rotation! It's seriously so sad that the Osborn Festival of Lights is ending! That was one of the most magical places at Disney World during the holidays! I'm glad that y'all got to see it one more time before it was officially gone.

  25. So we were on the other sideline and could see him having his childish fit at the officials.....he definitely is not a class act that one! That game was such a terrible loss for the Gators! I'm glad you and Kerri had a fun weekend even in the rain y'alls matching rain boots are adorable!

  40. It usually takes me at least a week or two to get down writing the new year numbers! I love the idea of a quiet NYE and doubt I’ll ever go out again haha! The bowl game looks like such fun – I cannot believe how hot it was!!
