This weekend, my best friend, Hope came to visit! I haven't seen her since the week we came back from our honeymoon. She graciously offered to babysit our babies while we were in Florida! We've been trying to get together ever since. Unfortunately, I have not made it to Roanoke since the wedding, even though I've wanted to! I can't wait to go home for Christmas!
Hope arrived on Friday night. We spent the night in, talking and catching up. We even watched the wedding video...which she LOVED of course! I also showed her some fun home videos from Thanksgiving! Gotta love the Flip video camera! (thanks, Grandaddy!) We stayed up late talking and drinking Lee's homemade Russian Tea. On Saturday, we slept in, and then got up to do some Christmas shopping! Although, there wasn't a LOT of shopping done, we still managed to get in a little. We had a late lunch at Carraba's and headed home to give Lee our leftovers. We pondered going to a movie or doing some more shopping, but I think they must've put something in that food...like maybe the stuff they put in Thanksgiving food. The stuff that makes you want to go straight to sleep and hibernate through the winter! YES, that's the stuff! We ended up getting our cozy pants on and watching one of my favorite Christmas movies,
"Santa Clause." AND no, NOT the Tim Allen movie..this is the one I watched as a child and have such fond memories of. Hope loved it...SO MUCH that she fell asleep right in the middle. Womp..womp. She was asleep at 7:30! WHAT? After the movie she woke up and said "We gotta go do something!" I was up for it, but she insisted that it must be something we could do with our jammies on. HMMMMM? Lee suggested that we go to the Boardwalk to see all the Christmas lights! So that we did, only to be greeted with the first snowfall of the season! It was so pretty.....and peaceful.
The Christmas lights were much better than last year and we really enjoyed it. Our favorite part was the big Christmas tree! You could turn to a particular radio station in your car and the music would match up with the lighting on the tree. It was so cute! They also give you a CD of music to follow along with you on the boardwalk. We had a great time!
The next day, Hope was supposed to go home, but decided to spend another day! We spent the whole day in our jammies, baking cookies and watching "25 days of Christmas" and "Fa la la la Lifetime!" I said "Hope, are you disappointed that we basically sat around in our PJ's all weekend?" She said "NO, this was the BEST weekend ever!" God love her.
We saw lots of Snow and LOTS of Christmas lights and lots of Lifetime and lots and lots of cookies and jammies. Tis the Season to Veg out and be cozy :)
