Oh Christmas tree! Oh Christmas tree!

Also on the day after Thanksgiving (after the game, as you can tell) we hopped on over to the big box retailer to pick us out a tree. We opted for a smaller one which is unusual, but it works and is still pretty ;).

I sort of dragged my feet on picking out a color scheme for my tree. Markus wanted blue of course! But last year was the blue tree as we awaited for the arrival of our son. And trust me for someone who doesn't really care for blue, I've had plenty of it this year! So I opted for red and silver. Why those colors? Well a couple of years ago (the year my tree fell over) Markus' sweet Papa gave me some of his wife's (Grandma Clara) ornaments. Do you remember the 80s soft stringy ornaments? Where if you had a hang nail it would ruin them. Well as I was looking through my ornaments and got the feeling like kids get on Christmas morning while opening presents when I saw them. Bright red in all their glory and memories of those who once so enjoyed them... And I knew that the tree would have red on it this year. I hadn't done red since 2009. I lost so Many of my favorite ornaments that year. Anyways so here's the tree less the topper cause idk about that yet. The one I have is too skinny to fit one the tree.

Black Friday shopping

I ventured out with Trevor about 8am to catch some deals at Old Navy for "Black Friday". It wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be. Until we got to the check out line. Lol! But that's another story. Managed to try on a fleece hat for Trevor and even snapped a pic cause it was so darn cute! (we had to buy it after trying it on)

That's how I roll

Trevor chillin' in the walmart cart

You make me feel

Doesn't this song make you want to do crunches? Seems to me like a good workout, dance song! I love it! Enjoy :)

Happy Birthday to me!

Well at 7:57AM today I will officially be 29 years old. If you ask me... I'm dreading next year. Most people I speak to tell me they loved 30. I'm just wondering what the last year of my 20s will feel like LOL! My day started out great. My baby was chipper to see me (unlike yesterday morning), we got off early to the babysitters. Friends at work were very welcoming and I wore a pin on my shirt all day that said, "today is my birthday". It was entertaining. Co-worker friends took me to Sonnys BBQ for my bday lunch. That was delish. Staff meeting at 1PM and we had Italian Creme Cake (Homemade!~) and everyone sung Happy Birthday to me with my boss calling me "Little One". I'm by no means the youngest in the office, but he LOVES to pick with me. It's funny though because I'm self conscious about my age especially this age... but I'm still the "little One".. Hilarious! Went home and started cleaning cause I had a meeting with the church ladies. 6:20 finish my dishes and I'm feeling good about this! Push the button to start the dishwasher as Trevor is right at my feet pouncing his hands on the dishwasher and turn around to my Hubby walking in the door! What a surprise! I WAS SO HAPPY! That was probably the best moment of my day. I really wanted to spend the evening with him and I just knew he would get off work (as usual) when I fell asleep. So I called my church ladies to cancel the meeting at my house. The boys and me went out for food. Trevor was getting tired and it was about that time. We decided to get take out.... and that was from one of my favs... La Madeleines. Markus did that just for me. I tell you he is great! On our way back home... and this was so FUNNY, I ask Markus if we can do what I want to do for the rest of the night since it was my Birthday. He says, as long as it doesn't involve dancing. hahaha! That is usually my request on my birthday or anniversary. He knows me too well. We watch a lame movie and yeah! Absolutely great way to end my last birthday of my 20s. hehe bring on 30 and a baby!

I could not ask for more

Really needed to hear this song today... It's the first song Markus and I danced to as husband and wife 6+ years ago :)
