Our Christmas Tree
Hi!! Well, the weekend has come and gone already! Time is flying by that my weekends feel shorter and shorter. But the good news is...this weekend is a REALLY LONGGG weekend!!! Yeayyy Christmas!!
So, friday night I had dinner @ my dad's with my little niece :-)) And then met Seymen, Maki, and Nate at Shiki for dessert. Afterwards, we went out on the town for a drink at Mex, and then another at Matthew's street. We didn't last too long though. I was pretty tired so we came home and I zonked out for the night. Saturday was the day of preparation. I cleaned the apartment, and then Seymen and I went out and bought our Christmas tree. It's soooo beautiful. We had alot of fun picking it out :-) I made Seymen hold up every tree until we found the perfect one :-) We were both so excited to get it up! Maki and Minako came over to help decorate and in return I cooked us a holiday dinner. We had a roast, onion potatoes, and broccoli. We had a million different desserts too! Maki and Minako brought the tastiest Fruit tart pie. Seymen bought Godiva truffels from the mall, and we had candied chestnuts that Seymen's parents sent. And of course candy canes from the tree :-) (Here's pictures)
Today was a lazier day. I worked and then had family night while Seymen stayed home working and wrapping the "secret" presents that I wasn't allowed to see :-)
So hopefully (but doubtfully) this week will be short and fast. Thursday I'm supposed to have the day off so we can fly off to NYC for Christmas with my dad. We're doing a Sex and City tour and seeing the Lion King. I even got Chrissy to agree to eat lunch at a Turkish restuarant! We'll see if we have time!
Anyway, I can't wait for Christmas!! I had a little chat with my boss and she gave me two days off of work in between Christmas and New Years because I've been working so much overtime. Hopefully, I won't pay dearly for that time...but I intend to take it so I can spend more time with my family.
So! All the CHristmas shopping is done, the presents are wrapped under our tree! It looks so festive!! Seymen bought a special light dimmer for our tree. It looks like an ornament, but when you touch it, it dims three levels. The only sad thing is, we are going to miss Maki this year because she's going to Japan. But I'm looking forward to her call on New Years :-) And she's so excited to see her little niece too :-)
