It's Christmas!

We've been in Christmas-mode for the last two weeks. Christmas parties, shopping, Christmas movies, hot chocolate, candy canes, decorating... And this week it's been snowing. A lot. It definitely feels like Christmastime!

Two weekends ago we hosted a Tacky Christmas sweater party.


Last weekend we went to a friend's party and binged on Christmas themed food.

Saturday and Sunday it was about 12 degrees and snowing, so we didn't venture out of the apartment too much except to go to Target and to go see Catching Fire.

Monday Chuck took his last final of the semester and that night we went on a date. Back in August, my 1st anniversary gift (paper-themed of course!) to Chuck was tickets to see the Celtics play the Minnesota Timberwolves on December 16th. When I bought them, I totally forgot about the whole "finals week" thing but luckily for us, it worked out that Chuck's last final was Monday afternoon.

I chose the game against the Timberwolves because this season they picked up a recent graduate and one of our favorite players from UofL- Gorgui Dieng! Gorgui is a rookie so we weren't sure if we'd see him play or not but sure enough, he got to play several minutes! He ended up getting 4 fouls so then he got sent back to the bench, but while he was in it was exciting. We were really conflicted about which team to cheer for so we cheered mostly for the Celtics and then just for Gorgui individually.

Number 5 in the blue! That's our guy.


Chuckie wore his Louisville hat for Gorgui. :)


Now the week is wrapping up and tomorrow I'll join Chuck in Louisville (he left Tuesday) and we'll  spend lots and lots of quality time with our families and friends.Wherever you are and whoever you're with, I hope your holidays are great!
