Legends Outlets Kansas City

Weekend Fun!

But, for this weekend.

It's all about getting ready for Christmas.

We did some Christmas Shopping!!

Are you a late Shopper or an early Shopper???

I seriously hate running out of time and feeling rushed so 

I'd rather do things early.

I like to stay organized.

It was such a beautiful day for an outdoor Shopping.

It was a bit cold but being on the Sun was not bad.

We went to Legends Outlet in Kansas City!

Okay, I think so far I like this Mall!!

We have been to Lee Summit and I prefer this one.

My boys behaving good while mommy and daddy shop.

With Covid and everything I'm glad they keep it organize.

There's some stores that has a lot of customers and they keep it minimized on how much

people can come in and thats really good.

Waiting in line was worth it.

After Shopping we went to Chiusano Brick Oven Pizzeria.

I'm still on a search for a good Italian food.

..And this one has really good pizza!

I highly recommend!!

We had some Chicken and Fries for the boys.

And Hubby picked a few kind of Pizza.

A Spicy one and Philly Cheesesteak pizza.

I love them both!!

The flavors was on point.

I can say now that this crust is definitely my favorite!

It's a fun day with my little family!

Have a good week!

Sunrise Mimosa

I'm a Prosecco girl, I admit.

All I need is pop a bottle and thats it.. I'm good.

But last weekend, I decided to make it fun and make

a Prosecco cocktail.

Dreaming I'm in a Tropical place.

This drink was so good and it wasn't hard to make!

All you need is Malibu rum, Pineapple juice, grenadine, Prosecco of course or any sparkling wine.

Then Pineapple slices and maraschino cherries for garnish.

So good!

Let me know what you guys think!!!

Winter Magic (Kansas City)

What a better way to start off Christmas??

Drive through Christmas lights!

This is my first time doing and I loved it.

Of course like everything else,

We had to drive to Kansas.

Its not bad of a drive, we are getting used to driving to Kansas now 

every time we want to do something.

It was such a beautiful Sunset!

The line moved fast when we got there.

I'm so glad!

Because reading from reviews they are saying it took them few hours in the line.

For us it took about 20 mins!

It was worth it.

The entrance was amazing.

It was probably my favorite part!

Animals that the kids loved!

The Drive through took probably less than 30 minutes.

I wish it was longer.

But, I think it was amazing.

Especially its for a good cause.

This might be a start of a Holiday tradition. 

We had a great time!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

It's Christmas time!

..And its definitely the most wonderful time of the year. 

With everything thats going, I am looking forward to a nice, relaxing Christmas with

my loves.

Last year we were not complete since hubby was deployed.

But, him being home is just the perfect Christmas present we could ever have.

Having a new home and being back in the US, it makes me so excited to decorate and put up the decorations!

We had so many decorations that we didn't get to use in Italy since our house was not as big and everything was not the right volts for Europe.

This is our Post-Thanksgiving tradition.

Every. year.

The boys did a lot of decorating this year.

So, So beautiful.

This 7.5 ft Christmas tree is just the right size.

Our Christmas Stockings.

So cozy!

Makes me just want to stay home. all day.

View from our Kitchen.

I will post more of our new home soon. =)

I also changed the Dinner table cover.

I love changing the theme of my dining table every season.

It bring me so much joy looking at all of these.

Looking forward for a wonderful Christmas. 

Do you like to decorate?

Have a good Holidays!
