Merry Christmas!

, ,

Technically Christmas Eve, but close enough!  I hope wherever you are, you're taking some time to enjoy the holiday, pretty lights, and a warm drink.  I'll be heading up the road to Jake and Jill's for their annual Christmas Eve party and then heading home to go to bed early for Santa!

Christmas Tree Obtaining

, ,

It's not quite like Vermont.  Almost, but not quite.  Some of the basics are the same - there are trees and saws and hiking through the woods.  But there's a certain artificial piece to it.  Fighting the crowds of other families, hoping they won't fall in love with the same one you do.  And everything is so manicured.  They don't naturally come in that shape.  It's a bit odd.

Brief Thanksgiving Celebration, then more Christmas!

, ,

Thanksgiving was never one of those holidays that I got too excited for.  Maybe because I don't love food as much as some other people, so to me, it's just another meal? Or maybe because it feels like the one final thing standing between me and when I can officially start celebrating Christmas?

Birthday Celebrations

,

This weekend was full of birthday celebrations for one of our favorite people!  It started off with dinner on Friday at The Top of the Hub.  For anyone who was at our wedding, The Top of the Hub is the restaurant one floor above where our reception was held, which they also catered.  It's a fancy and fun restaurant to visit, especially for special occasions.

Halloween Recap!

Halloween Recap!

So as promised, pictures and a recap from Halloween!

Any guesses what I decided to dress up as?  Maybe I should have mentioned that it would be a couple's costume :)  The answer?

Ed Sheeran at Gillette Stadium!

, ,

Finally the event we've been counting down for all year has arrived!  No, not the wedding - ED SHEERAN! I became obsessed with him when his last album X was released, and bought a copy for the car.  I then proceeded to play it on repeat (sometimes just the same two tracks) over and over again on multiple long road trips until Tom was forced to become a fan as well.  Nicole also joined us (as she tends to appreciate most talented musicians and will almost never say no when I ask her to go to something), as did Jill (who became a fan after googling "who is Ed Sheeran" when we asked her if she'd like to come).
