My birthday/weekend happenings

Hello friends :) I hope you all had a great weekend! (only 2 left until Christmas... when did that happen?) We had fun celebrating my birthday, which is actually today but hubby works late so we don't have time to do anything. 28 years old today! I can't believe I'm almost 30, but now that I'm so close to reaching that milestone, it doesn't seem near as old as I once thought it was! I'm still young :) Or at least I like to think so when hubby and I play Lego Lord of the Rings...

Here's some of the fun we had this weekend:

Friday

After work, I did some shopping for my Instagram Secret Santa:

Then watched one of my favorite Christmas movies, Home Alone! I don't think I could ever get tired of this movie :)

Saturday

I was reminiscing back to our Florida trip as I was enjoying my morning cup of coffee:

I did some shopping for a new planner. I am one that likes to write things down in an actual calendar as opposed to having it on my phone. Last year I got a calendar from the Martha Stewart collection at Staples. It was a binder with different paper inserts to go inside. I then found out the line was being discontinued, which kind of bummed me out, because I really liked how the pages were laid out. So off I went to Target, Barnes and Noble, Staples, shopping online... You guys, I seriously spend at least 20 minutes in the planner aisle at Staples looking though each one. Yep, I'm weird, but it's something I'm going to be using every day so it has to be something I like! I finally decided on one from the Sugar Paper line at Target. It's a bigger size than what I've gotten in the past, but I like it already!

We also had our traditional b-day dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings (sign up for their e-mails and you get a free snack size wings for your b-day!) and saw the movie "Fury," which we both thought was a very good movie. 

Sunday

We went to church on Saturday so we could sleep in a little. As you can see, our pets didn't enjoy this at all...

I spent some time importing dates and information in my new calendar (seriously, I get so excited by this!)

We plaid some Lego video games (don't judge...)

Hubby gave me one of my gifts early so I could wear it. A blardigan! You guys, this is the softest sweater I've ever had! I predict many days and nights wearing this thing :)

A birthday dinner at my in-laws rounded out my weekend. As always, it didn't feel near as long enough, but at least there is only 2.5 more weeks until Christmas! What fun things did you do this weekend?
