Couple things happened this weekend...
1) I finally made it out to the stores to do some in-store shopping for the holidays
2) I've reaffirmed myself that I prefer online shopping instead of lines, crowds, and chaos
3) I did more shopping online
4) I did more shopping online
5) I did more shopping online
6) I realized I'm too efficient at shopping online, using coupon codes, and spending enough to get free shipping
7) I then realized that I need to STOP shopping online...
Only good thing that has come out of the weekend is that I'm about 95% complete with holiday shopping... just a couple more small things to grab and have to mail a box to Chicago. This is a personal best. I just ordered Christmas cards so if all goes well, they should arrive in everyone's mailboxes the week before Christmas.
Besides my shopping distractions, the week/weekend was relatively low key. I had a girls night out on Friday for Kassi's 30th. We got a hotel room downtown and just had a great time! Lots of laughs, dancing, and drinks! Ryan and Maeve had a pretty chill evening, however our girl was up around 5ish so I came home to a very tired house. Fortunately, we didn't have much going on the rest of the weekend. Ryan went into work and Maeve and I relaxed. I have a hysterical video of her falling asleep while eating lunch but it's too long to email and post.
Since I just ordered Christmas cards, I'm all up to date on getting pictures from camera to the computer so here is a hodge podge.
Here are some pictures that didn't make the cut for the Christmas card. She's such a ham these days, so when we could actually catch her smiling and looking straight at the camera, it often looked like this... squinty eyes and her either sticking out her tongue or with something in her mouth or trying to wrap a bell around her neck.
Maeve getting some Daddy back rub love. This girl loves a good back rub.
Nothing like reading some books in a blanket fort with Daddy. Yes, the one to the right has both of them in there.
Here were some snaps from Thanksgiving. I just loved her dress from Aunt Kerry.
Coloring with Daddy
Post Dinner and the tights are off... let's do a little dancing!
Or hugging with cousin Evan!
As I mentioned, we took Maeve to see Santa and she wasn't much of a fan... even a visit from Mom couldn't calm her down. Maybe we'll have been luck next year!
Have a great week! Kisses from Maeve!!
