Our Christmas Tree 2006

Not a big post today but I wanted to get the pictures of the Christmas tree on here. Doyle took these pictures of me last weekend and I forgot they were on the camera still. You can tell this camcorder doesn't take the best pictures in low-light conditions. Doyle isn't really wanting to buy a new digital camera right now but as you all know me and pictures... I'm going to have to have one before the baby gets here! :)

The rest of these pictures I took just a few minutes ago. You can see Snickers under the tree where he loves to be this time of year!

The above shot was taken from the kitchen doorway.

Then I took this one from the dining room doorway.

By the time I took this third shot, Snickers had his eye on me... and you can see that plain as day! Is that hilarious or what?

I still want to get more of the bigger bulbs this Christmas while in Ohio. We've made it a family tradition to go to some really nice Christmas stores whenever I'm in town. I have no idea how long we've been doing this. It's only been the past few years that Doyle and I started a tradition of actually buying Christmas ornaments while there. This year since we are driving, it will be much easier to bring them home. Taking them on the plane was definitely risky in the past but luckily we haven't had any break. That one red one looks like it's glowing but it's really not. We'll have to make sure we got some more of those!

Last night we were invited to dinner at Ruth's Chris by my boss and his other direct employees. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that he is being promoted to CFO on January 1st. So he wanted to take his direct reports and their spouses to a nice thank you dinner. He also surprised everyone by giving us really nice monogrammed portfolios. It was a really yummy dinner and we were absolutely stuffed by the time we walked out of there. We got up this morning and neither one of us was hungry at all. I kind of had a not so perfect stomach all day. I think I just over did it with the food last night. I know I had much richer food than I normally do. So that's probably the culprit. It felt nothing like the morning sickness, so it's really not worth mentioning.

Talk about a quick weekend. I feel like I blinked and the weekend was over. I had brought work home with me only to realize today that I must have not put it in my satchel to bring home after all. Oops! Oh well, I just got to relax for another day!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend too! Happy Christmas shopping if you aren't done yet! :)
