Weekend Update

We had a very boring and uneventful weekend - but oh well - I still felt like linking up to do a Weekend Update!

My in-laws were coming to visit us for the weekend. So, Friday we were both off work around 1 p.m. so we met for lunch SANS baby and had some (okay, just one) of these. There is nothing better than a make/choose your own bloody mary bar. And the more food that's a part of it, the better! I don't even need an appetizer!

Saturday we ended up at dinner and I (for some strange reason) needed to imbibe in TWO of these. (I always include the sippy cup in the photo so you know I might be a drunk mom but at least my child is hydrated)

I don't enjoy the taste of piss beer so I offered my beer chaser to Ali.

She was none too thrilled.

By Sunday morning I was ready to tear out my own hair have a nice relaxing day at home after the in-laws hit the road. But our friends/neighbors invited us over for a BBQ so we busted out the wine and joined them. We ate some steak, too.

I bought these lovely hydrangeas on Friday after work and by Sunday morning they were completely wilted and sad - much like my weekend. Hahaha. Cheers to the next one!

Christmas 2009

We went up to Brad's hometown on Wednesday night hoping to miss a huge snow storm that was about to hit. The storm started getting really bad as we got closer to his parent's house and we were very lucky that we only had to drive in it for about 30 minutes. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with his side of the family.

Then we came home to this! We had about a foot of snow in our driveway. Brad shoveled the entire thing because the snow was so wet and heavy! My contributions would have been useless!

Then we hosted my family's Christmas on Saturday. It was the first time my parents, brother and his family, aunt and grandparents saw our new house. And it was our first time entertaining! We had to go to Trader Joe's to stock up on wine now that we have TWO wine racks!
