Since Thanksgiving, Jason and I have been super busy! The Friday after Thanksgiving we had an amazing date night! We went to the movies and saw the 7th Harry Potter film! Jason has never seem any of them in a movie theater . . . it was spectacular!! We are currently reading the 5th book together and can't wait to finish it!! It's getting so interesting and Jason has never read anything past this... can't wait to see what he thinks about the ending.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we drove down to see my family for our annual "get your Christmas tree while going on a hayride and getting hot apple sider" day... we need to work on the title for that...? This was the first year I have ever bought my own tree, and it is extra special because I get to do it with Jason!! We picked the perfect size tree... just slightly taller than me. My parents ended up buying two trees... one for inside and one for the deck. They, of course, are gynormous and beautiful. We had our hot apple sider (after the hayride... Jason learned not to do that before... it spills). We then all went to Partners Pizza, which was scrumptious. Amazingly enough... Jason and I were actually able to fit our entire tree in my tiny car. (P.S. an entire tree is waaaaay better than one of those little fake tree air fresheners... although, slightly more inconvenient.) We took it home and put it up... it was leaning for quite a long time until we were able to buy sand. It is now completely, somewhat, straight and has a beautiful silver star and one ornament on it. Our cats really love the tree... they keep batting at the bottom of it and drinking it's water. They haven't knocked it over yet, so, that's a good sign.
The week after Thanksgiving must not have been too eventful because we can't recall most of it... we remember we cleaned up a lot and worked a lot. I guess that's about it. We received our beautiful wedding pictures!!! So excited about that :^) They are unbelievably wonderful and amazing. I'm so thankful for all our photographers did. Now I just need to print them and frame them.
Our family night group exchanged names for Christmas gifts. Jason and I got Lisa and Daniel. We're both super excited about their gifts. Travis and Anna had our names. They got Jason a gift card to radio shack (perfect!) and I received a truly lovely wine decanter and goblets. They gave amazing gifts. Last Saturday we went with the family night group to go get everyone else's tree at Minter's farm (the place we got ours). I went last year with Lisa and Daniel, but no one else went. Everyone got great trees and had fun hanging out at Popeyes.
Best part of my week: Jason and I had a sock sliding contest in our kitchen. I so SO won! He didn't, no matter what he says. Our cats thought us very strange and kept watching us running back and forth. I think they think we're crazy.
Best thing I've purchased: Alfred the penguin. Possibly the most amazing cookie jar I have ever seem. Jason and I picked it out together while Christmas shopping.
I just want to say to Jason that I really love you and I have enjoyed decorating and preparing for Christmas with you in our home. There is no one else I'd rather share life with. I love you Jerkface.
