Another week gone in a blink.
PICS & GOINGS ON
The bookends of our week were full fledge Christmas decorating. Sunday we went Christmas tree shopping.
Friday we went shopping for new outside lights. Rob is completely over the icicle lights that we have been hanging on the house. We ended up spending way to much money, but feel ok about it as we felt like we needed an upgrade and we’re almost completely LED lights outside now.
Saturday Caitlyn and Drew came over to make sausage balls. Drew had cut his finger the night before and decided it would be best not to have his finger all up in the sausage. He was sweet enough to help Rob by putting the lights in the bushes.
I will show lots of pics of inside and outside in a separate post when we’re completely done decorating.
Caitlyn made the sausage balls. We usually cook up a batch and freeze the rest.
Saturday morning, Rob and I also did some shopping. We were at Sam’s and I found this wine. I had to try it just for its funny name. Caitlyn and I really enjoyed it that evening drinking nearly the entire bottle.
As far as the rest of the week, Rob and I went out to our favorite Mexican place for lunch to discuss Christmas presents and our Christmas trip. We decided on what we’re getting people for the most part. We also decided that traveling across several states to visit family wasn’t the best of ideas since COVID is really raring it’s ugly head right now. Luckily my family that we were going to see were all understanding.
THOUGHTS
Today I found a really nice Christmas album called A Jolly Irish Christmas Volume II . If you’re looking to change up your Christmas tunes, this ones great!
Linking up with:
I have always wanted to put up outside lights and decorations but since we live at the end of a dead end/private road it has always felt like a waste of time and money (so we haven’t) but I just LOVE seeing other’s lights!
Yeah, honestly if it were up to me the outside wouldn’t get decorated too much, but my husband always wants to do it. It does make me happy.
I bet your decorations look so festive and cozy. We will be making a small trip up to our family’s ranch right after Christmas, but that’s it for travel. For a family that loves travel, it seems like a long time since our last trip! Hope you have a good week!
We ended up getting away for a bit last week which was nice. Can’t wait to read about your trip!
I love Irish music! I need to check out that Irish Christmas album. Thanks for the recommendation!
Did you check out the Album? It wasn’t really too Irish, but I enjoyed it.
