Weekend in Review

Well hey there last full week before Christmas! You sure did come quick!! I am still pinching myself in disbelief that Christmas is actually next week and that 2013 is coming to an end!

This weekend I did not lay on the couch like a sloth and gorge myself on every Christmas movie under the sun like I wanted to. No, we had shopping to do and things to handle! And princesses to save.

Friday – Friday evening Chris and I stopped by his parents house for a few minutes, then decided to stop by Walmart to look at the toys. We still had one nephew left to buy for! While we were at Walmart, somehow we found ourselves in the video game section staring at the Wii U and Xbox One. Two games systems we dont have yet.

We were thinking that instead of getting presents for each other, we could get a game system as a joint gift to ourselves. Something that we could do together! Then I decided that if we were going to buy one, we needed to get it from Target to get 5% off, duh!

So we headed over to Target, sat on the floor of the game area and decided if we really wanted to do it or not. We looked at all the games, decided the Wii U would get more use right now, plus Target was giving a $25 gift card with purchase! That would pay for half the extra remote. We walked around the store, looked at the toys for Will and thought about it some more. We grabbed some toys and the Wii U and headed to the register. We paid for the Wii U first so that we could use the gift card to put towards the remote. Well, when the transactions were done and our coupons were printing out, we got one for 20% off the remote! Score!!! Then after that transaction I got a coupon for $10 off $100 next time we shop! (Which was Sunday for groceries.) So basically, I got $45 in free money!!!! SCORE!

 

We got home and started moving stuff around in our entertainment center to make space. Sent the Wii down with the retro gaming systems, and turned that baby one! Oh it needed updating. FOUR TIMES!

This is Chris sleeping at 2:00 am still waiting on the damn updates to finish! How annoying! We didnt even play Friday night. 

While it was updating, I did get to watch the Grinch, so not all was lost 🙂

Saturday morning we played some Wii U since it was all updated, then got ready to head out for the day. We went to Game Stop to get one last thing for our nephew Christopher, and the new Super Mario 3D for the Wii U. Then we headed to The Summit to finish the rest of our Christmas shopping. We got my moms present, and then decided that after battling all the traffic and people, and hearing those damn salvation army bells ringing…that it was time for a cold one!

We headed to one of our favorite pubs, Blackwells for a beer! I got the Good People Coffee Oatmeal Stout and it was delicious! Afterwards we headed to The Village Tavern for our “date” dinner. We enjoyed some crab dip. It was soooo good!

Then we went over to Bottletree to see our friends premier of Dean and Company Christmas! It was awesome! We took a picture there but it is on Chris’s phone. Oops.

We did score this awesome Snoopy Christmas set when we were at Toys R Us! It was 50% off!!!

 

Sunday I did our meal planning and grocery shopping. I met up with my sister in law for a few minutes at Target since we discovered we were in the same place at the same time! I picked up some rocks at Michael’s for a craft project, then headed to God’s country to my sister’s house to do said craft project.

 

My sister stole some empty Jack Daniel’s bottles from my dad’s house so that we could make them lamps for Christmas!

 

We think they turned out awesome!!!! Another set of presents down and taken care of too! Yay!!!!

Sunday evening Chris and I watched Home Alone 2 and I watched most of Jack Frost. I love Christmas Movies!!!!

This morning I started my second week of T25. It kicked my ass. That’s what I get for staying up too late watching Christmas movies on a “school night.” I know better than that! My last full work week of the year! Yay!!! We can do this!
