A very productive weekend...

Well, I actually lived up to my to-do list this weekend! Got ALL gifts finalized. Got all gifts that can be wrapped - wrapped. Returned purchases, bought a few more things - done! Also snuck in a few personal gifts for little ol' me.

So, Saturday we started slow, but I got my errands done. Then, B and I decided to have our own Christmas b/c we have a friend visiting this week, and there's no point lugging our own gifts to his parent's house. We went to Sullivan's, came home, started a fire and opened gifts. It's actually hilarious - I bought him a new wallet, a book he's been wanting to read, a cookbook and some slippers. He bought me pajamas (with matching slippers), 2 books and a wallet! I love all of them and it's too funny how we essentially got each other the same things.

Today we got up and went for a run/walk, took Ellie to the park, washed our sheets, moved our bed around, organized my closet, organized my bathroom drawers, returned a few more things and went to the grocery store! I was supposed to just relax today - but I feel very relaxed now after I got all that done!

Looking forward to a week with little to no errands after work (when traffic is miserable) and the beginning of our holidays with family!

Here's some pics of our tree (and Mark Zuckerberg, I guess)...

And this adorable shot made our Christmas card - she's just waiting for Santa...

Happy Holidays!!!

Sleigh bells ring...are you listening?

So, I guess Christmas isn't really here until I decorate my blog. Of course, my house has been decorated for 3 weeks already. I'll post pics soon. We got a really cute Christmas card pic of Ellie - she's always the star of our card.

Anyway - it's a busy time of year. I drive myself crazy buying gifts, worrying about gifts, buying things and returning, searching for coupon codes, trying to get free shipping. It's an ordeal. This year, I am mostly done at this point - only have a handful of things left to buy/do. My plan is to do it all tomorrow, and rest Sunday-Christmas!

We'll be spending Christmas with B's family in Houston. Should be lots of fun and we'll get lots of time to hold/play with our new nephew! After Christmas, we are flying home to NM for a few days - which we are both looking forward to as well!

Pictures posted this weekend - it's on my to-do list!
