13 Soup + Sandwich

Last weekend was a blur of his Squadron Christmas party (Ugly Sweater theme) and trying to get our gift shopping done.  We decided not to get the usual ugly Christmas sweater...omg check out some of these....and to make our own.  We looked everywhere for a green sweater for him, lights, ornaments, etc.  This time of year it takes an hour just to circle the parking lot, stand in a line 10 people deep, or squeeze through packed aisle ways.  

We were pretty exhausted by lunch time, so we hit Panera to recharge.  I usually meet one of my girls for lunch there, Juliett always gets the Broccoli Cheddar soup with extra crusty bread.  This time my guy and I decided to split a soup + sandwich "You Pick Two".  I love that Panera lists the calories so you can pick out just what you're looking for, this time of year I try not to go overboard.

We loved the rich broth and tons of noodles in the All Natural Low Fat Chicken Noodle Soup.  And you have to dunk the baguette!  And I always get this sandwich, the Tomato Mozzarella on Ciabatta Panini...oh my goodness...it's real mozzarella, basil and sun dried tomato pesto.  Swoon.

Find out what soup is being served daily on their website here.  I would have liked to try one of the new ones...like the Garden Veggie with Pesto, but it wasn't up that day. 

And here's our finished outfits...

He was the Christmas tree (real bow tie and all) and I'm the present, rocked a Bow Bun too!  I used SprinkleofGlitter's Tutorial.
