We kicked off Christmas 2015 this past weekend in Florida with Eric's Mom, her hubby, and his brother's family. It was a blast! Lots of good family together time. His brother and his wife had a Christmas party to attend before they got to the boys' Mom's house so we had some nephew time, too. Naturally Uncle E decided we needed to take him fishing. I think he enjoyed playing in the dirt around the pond more than fishing but we all had fun in none the less.
I have a feeling this is just the beginning. Between his Daddy and Uncle E, he has no choice but to love fishing!
Before we headed down to FLA we did a little more Christmasing ourselves. I had a work Christmas luncheon Friday afternoon at Olive Garden. One of my friends brought her 2 month old, but forgot to bring something to warm his bottle up, so we improvised. It worked like a charm! That afternoon Eric had to finish up start his Christmas shopping so we ventured out Friday night and ended our night at, yup, Olive Garden. He didn't think I'd want to go, but I can eat their pasta and breadsticks all day every day! Needless to say we need to get out more because we were both fascinated by the electronic paying device they had on the table. Don't mind us, we're just that crazy old couple babbling on about technology in the corner.
While we failed to get a whole family shot down at his mom's house, I took a bunch of pics of the dogs and our drinks because #importantthings, right?
1) Peanut found the stash of doggie presents and proceeded to guard them for an hour before we realized he was not in the living room with the rest of us.
2) I'm not going to say that Hawk knows how to make himself at home, but he was quite pleased with this pallet my MIL made up for my nephew as a bed for himself. #spoiledrottendog
3) Peanut finally did get his bone (that's as long as he is) and cuddled with it or guarded it, however you want to look at it, for the rest of the day. He doesn't actually chew on it, just guards it so no one else can get it.
4) We were introduced to a new drink this weekend by my MIL, Nectar of the gods, I mean Moscow Mules. These puppies are amazing. I had heard of them before but never had one myself because I don't drink a lot of liquor drinks. #wino4life If you've never had one, it tastes like a hard ginger ale and served in super cute copper mugs. Eric loved them too, which is a shocker because we has completely opposite tastes when it comes to drinks.
And now we're 3 days away from Christmas and I'm getting excited! We're jamming to Christmas tunes non-stop and making our way through our DVRed Christmas movie list! Heck, we even went light lookin' on Friday night when we got back into town! It's almost like we're at the North Pole, except for the lack of snow and cold weather. But you can't have it all, right?
If you're looking for me this week after work, you can find me here.
Yes, we now have our own set of Moscow Mule cups to sip on mules to the glow of our Christmas tree. =) I love the holidays!
