Decorating

On Saturday CP and I bought our Christmas tree and decorated it and the living room while listening to the Christmas station on Pandora.  We enjoyed an awesome dinner of smoked trout with a mint sauce and a bottle of the wine we were drinking when we got engaged.  

Our tree this year!

                                                    

For those of you that have been reading long enough, you may remember that our 2010 tree experience wasn't the best because we bought a tree that was WAY TOO BIG, so this year we decided to save ourselves the hassle and buy an already cut tree (last year we decided not to buy a tree because we were just coming back from the Bahamas).  The tree was marked as a 7 ft tree, but we think it's a little short.  At least it fits in our living room and we didn't have to break out the electric hedge trimmer this year!

Buster was wary of the moose stocking which was hilarious.  Poor guy  had a bunch of new things to contend with in the living room.  So far the tree and the stockings haven't been touched by him....

Yesterday CP and I joined my sister and her boyfriend at the Bears game.  Our FANTASTIC idea while tailgating was to shotgun beers...something that I haven't done in a few years.  I mean, of course CP and I rocked at it as usual, but it most likely led to my downfall later on that day.  CP made smoked cajun ribs and smoked chicken legs which were ridiculously delicious- at least we ate some good food in addition to drinking ourselves silly!

After getting home from the game CP and I made it until 7:30 and then finally crashed.  Advil and Tylenol weren't working on my monster headache, but Tylenol PM made it all better.  Definitely paying for all of that drinking today though.  Poor CP had to wake up early to fly to Atlanta for work- hopefully he can survive today without passing out in meetings!

How was your weekend?
