scenes from the weekend.

this past friday was our christmas party! we decided to class it up a bit from last year -- hors d'oeuvres and champagne cocktails. ok, ok...there was also cheap beer present, but no one dressed up as uncle eddie from national lampoon's christmas vacation the year. the party was a blast and it was nice to meet some new friends.

saturday was spent cleaning and putting everything back together after the party. saturday night we tried an afghan restaurant around the corner from our apt. i love having so many great restaurants just blocks away.

sunday i woke up to SNOW! i spent a lazy day watching cbs sunday morning, drinking coffee, writing christmas cards and wrapping presents. wrapped up the weekend with sunday funday with my yoga girls at my favorite wine bar, sasha's on shaw.

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas

we're having a christmas party tonight! lindsey, ellie and i decked the halls in our apartment and can't wait to celebrate the holidays with our friends.

you can't really tell, but mom and i got high on paint fumes over thanksgiving spray painting mixed nuts in metallic spray paint that are in the hurricanes with candles.

lindsey got his first REAL christmas tree. we had so much fun stringing the lights and hanging the ornaments. still searching for a perfect star for the top!
