Christmas weekend recap

I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I know that I did. It was filled with lot of family, fun and food. Christmas Eve was spent at our house with my mom. I spent the afternoon running last minute errands and making cake balls. In the evening, Geof, my mom and I spent some family time together watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story. We had lots of delicious treats and my mom and Geof fell asleep very early.

Christmas Eve filled with lots of wine and cake balls!

Christmas morning was spent at our house and we opened gifts and stockings. Geof loved the surprise that I got for him. It’s so hard hiding things when you both live under the same roof. I took all of his memorabilia from when the Phillies won the World Series in 2008 and had it professionally framed at Michael’s. He loved it! It’s so funny when you’re an adult how it gets better to give rather than to receive. Speaking of receiving, I got some delightful gifts too. My mom got me the beautiful Murfee scarf from Lilly Pulitzer and some pretty earrings from Kate Spade. She also got me this cute leopard infinity scarf from The Limited. Geof got me the gray Uggs that I wanted in addition to the Tiffany Key Pendant and the Junior Drake Tabitha bag that I wanted. He also got me some really cute stuff from Etsy and the J. Crew ring that I had asked for.

Geof's present and he also loved the book I got for him...The Bro Code from How I Met Your Mother. We love that show!

Christmas evening, we went to my Aunt & Uncle’s house for a big Christmas dinner. The food was so good and it was great to see everyone. My Aunt Beth and Uncle Tim ended up coming back to our house because the kids wanted to see the dogs. They’re the aunt and uncle with a son and triplets. They are the sweetest children and awesome cousins. Sarah (one of the triplets) is so crafty and crocheted scarves for Geof and me for Christmas. It was the sweetest thing ever and very thoughtful.

Family

I have to say that Saturday and Sunday were pretty lazy days. Saturday afternoon, we went to Olive Garden for lunch and then to the mall for a bit to checkout some of the after Christmas sales. When we came home, we started watching the first season of Dexter and I am hooked.

Sunday, we watched more Dexter and then I got some motivation to clean out some of our closets with Geof. I see a trip Goodwill in our future for a big drop off. We had Taco Bell for dinner and then more Dexter. We watched the entire first season in 2 days. I can’t wait to get started on season 2.

How was your holiday weekend?
