Our Weekend 003

We had a really fun, low key weekend. Matt was only gone for five days last week so it barely even seemed like he left. He came home monday night with flowers, "just because". Which are the best type of flowers to get, if you're asking me.

On Saturday, Max had a movie date with his Aunt Kim, they saw The Muppet Christmas Carol. I took advantage of that time to wrap some gifts while watching Love Actually, as you do.

 That night we had a few friends over for dinner. Matt roasted a chicken and veggies and once the littles went to bed we drank wine and watched lip sync offs (it's long, but completely worth it) for an embarrassingly long time. Is there anything better than food, wine and friends? Nope.

On Sunday we decided to rebel against or buildings "no real Christmas trees" rule and go out and get one anyway. We went to the cutest little U-Cut and chopped down our own. I chopped down our Christmas tree. Me. All by myself. Not to take away from the situation, it's a 3 foot tree, but even still. It was major. They had saws there to borrow, and we only wanted a small one for the nursery. Max and I picked it out, chopped it down and carried it to the car. I'm practically a lumberjack at this point. Matt's actually planning a post about it for later in the week, since he was behind the camera this time.

Matt is only working away four days the rest of this year, so we're feeling pretty spoiled and he has the last two weeks of the month off for vacation! December, you're too good to us.
