my weekend in pictures.

{watched despicable me 2 on an exciting friday night.}

{after lunch with amanda, we indulged with a cupcake from trophy.}

{we took a family walk to & around greenlake on sunday morning. it was so incredibly gorgeous (this picture doesn’t do it justice!).}

{decided I should probably pack up the christmas decorations. the house is definitely not feeling as festive…}

{aaron took down the lights from the outside of the house. & apparently he was also doing some strength training as well.}

so here is my weekend post. on monday evening. where did the weekend go? I swear there weren’t enough days that passed from friday night to last night to count as an entire weekend. I blinked & went from saturday to monday! I am blaming on it being such a weird week since the holiday was on wednesday… how was your weekend? M

{caught the end of the fight hunger bowl game. go huskies!}

{saw our cousin kait’s new house. aaron & oliver had fun launching arrows everywhere.}

{we drove out to lafayette to see tim, meg, & silas yesterday.}

{si was such a ham at lunch. this is his new squishy face!}

{pool party at our hotel with all of the little cousins!}

{happy birthday cari!}

{all of the littles in one pic – amazing!}

we are wrapping up our indiana christmas vacation & fly back to seattle today. it has been great to unplug & catch up with family & friends over the holiday. it seems like we have had no less than 6 christmas celebrations! plus, we finally got some snow this morning! hard to believe we are in the final days of december – where did the year go? how was your christmas week and weekend?

my weekend in pictures.

{we woke up to SNOW on friday morning. it was very, very exciting!}

{sadie does not at all look comfy, does she?}

{got a festive holiday mani on saturday morning.}

{packing…}

{sadie’s dog walker becca gave sadie her christmas present. it was a 3 foot bully stick. sadie is obsessed.}

{we had a crepe brunch with our friends cale, jessica, & their daughter jazmyne. jaz & aaron took sadie for a little stroll afterwards.}

{lounged on the couch sunday afternoon & caught some of the seahawks game.}

{again, not at all comfy sadie…}

{we went to the drug store with my grandmother before seeing a movie this evening. this is what was in her cart. all of that is candy.}

{a movie isn’t a movie without popcorn & junior mints!}

we had a fun last weekend before the big holiday which was spent spending a lot of time with friends & family. that is how the holidays should be, right? we are gearing up for some more family time & are very much looking forward to spending the holidays with lots & lots of family this year. but, geez, can you believe it is christmas already? how was your weekend?

my weekend in pictures.

{sadie made a christmas ornament at the groomer on friday. yep, that is a lock of her fur. #wearecrazydogpeople}

{a fortune after lunching at p.f. chang’s on saturday – a break from last-minute holiday shopping.}

{we got lots checked off the christmas wish list this year at nordstrom.}

{sadie is enjoying her fleece blanket in the backseat this time of year. & she is sporting her christmas bow from the groomer.}

{we visited the new anthro at bell square & I couldn’t resist trying on these fun party skirts. you wanna guess which one was an early christmas present?}

{my grandmother picked the christmas sugar cookie to go along with her dinner this evening at panera. it was the one with the most sugar, I am sure!}

it was a fun, but oh-so-quick weekend! my mom made a somewhat last minute trip into town and it was so good to see her & spend an early christmas this afternoon. we avoided the grey winter weather with lots of shopping cardio & catching up. just this one last work week to get thru before the christmas holiday & I am so excited (& so ready!). how was your weekend?

my weekend in pictures.

{loving that we can turn on the heat remotely with our nest to warm up the house before we get home. hating that it is in the low 30s however.}

{which wich for dinner on saturday night. keeping it classy by eating on real plates!}

{sadie was all snuggles this weekend. it was cold enough that we put on her sweater & she didn’t seem to mind.}

{picked up our christmas tree today. what, you don’t put your christmas tree in a shopping cart?}

{tree atop the car. nice work husband! it didn’t fall off, not even once.}

{the view of the christmas tree from the sunroof.}

{loving the winter dream tea from the coffee bean & tea leaf, & my new mug from the SBUX + alice & olivia collab!}

{I have learned the hard way in years past what happens when you try to string christmas lights without stretching them out first. no fun. this year was so much better!}

{while decorated the inside of the house, aaron was out putting up our outdoor christmas lights.}

we returned on saturday afternoon from a week & a half in hawaii {which is why we were noticeably absent from social media the past few days} so the first half of our weekend was spent sitting on a plane over the pacific. this was a trip that was months in the making as we started planning last spring! it was awesome to get away just the two of us for a while for a much-needed break from the real world though it was a little weird to be away from family over the thanksgiving holiday. we soaked up the sun & unplugged {well I did} which was lovely. I will be sharing pics from our trip over the next few days {once I get the photos uploaded & lightly edited}. now we are back to a very, very cold beginning of winter! brr. on the plus side, I can get to decorating for christmas this week! how was your weekend?

my weekend in pictures {a look back}.

a happy belated thanksgiving! since I didn’t do a thanksgiving post last week {I have been unplugged this week & its been so great!} I thought it would be fun to do a random review post of some of my favorites from past weekend in pictures posts {this is what I am thankful for, right?}. so here you go!

{knowing that I passed the bar exam!}

{my parents’ pup skeeter when she was this tiny!}

{flying to fun places with this guy.}

{it’s a give & take with food sometimes. healthy & donuts!}

{sadie donning her sweater.}

{goofing off in boston.}

{hanging out with my husband at work events.}

{playing dress up.}

{when we bought a house that one time.}

{celebrating birthdays.}

{reminiscing about the night I met aaron. yep, it was at a bar {but we had mutual friends. seriously!}

{spending time with family! look how tiny kenley looks here.}

{again, dress up.}

{when sadie makes faces. I love her grin!}

{meeting other bloggers like john & sherry from young house love.}

how was your {holiday} weekend?

my weekend in pictures.

{traffic on friday night was nuts. the freeway was like a parking lot!}

{we played a tough shuffleboard game against new friends on friday night.}

{said good-bye to our good friend brian who is moving for work. we will miss you brian!}

{downtown belltown. every time I see the space needle, I have to take a picture of it.}

{worked on some crafty projects this weekend.}

{we saw the hunger games: catching fire on saturday. so, so good!}

{since we were at the seattle center to see the hunger games we got to see the needle. again.}

{waiting in line for the movie.}

{after filling up on popcorn at the movie, a light dinner was in order!}

{oregon lost to arizona? huge upset! a big deal for my huskies!}

{I finally got around to a much-needed mani & pedi.}

{we woke up to a beautiful day this morning. sadie was enjoying all of the glorious sun!}

{we saw a homeless dog on the way to the pet store this afternoon. so I bought him a treat. but then when we walked back past the corner where he was with his owner they were gone. sad. so then sadie got the treat. #spoileddog}

{ran to bell square in bellevue to pick up & return a few things. I usually park in 2A. this is the one bad thing about the holiday season…}

we had a great & productive weekend {at least it felt like I got a few to-dos off my list!}. this past week has really felt like winter since we are getting down below freezing at night, but we were spoiled with some sun & decent weather today! we are gearing up for a short week & a much-needed long weekend to rest up & recover from a crazy-busy schedule. how was your weekend?

my weekend in pictures.

{starbucks oatmeal & latte. breakfast of champions. & pretty much the best way to start off the weekend.}

{we went to a friend’s 30th-and-a-half birthday party this weekend. it was go-karts & a pinata FTW. aaron won one round of go-karts & broke the bat trying to get all of the candy. not a bad saturday night. happy half birthday jeff!}

{on sunday afternoon we swung by the airport to pick up my mom & dad who are in town for the week. excited to get to spend some time with them!}

how is it possibly the end of the weekend already? another weekend blog post with a shameful amount of pictures, my apologies. we had family start to come into town starting on friday night & ended sunday evening with an early thanksgiving dinner thanks to my uncle bill! we won’t be attending either of the familys’ thanksgiving dinners this year, so it was nice to have some tradition a few days early. but seriously, where did the weekend go? I feel like it went so, so fast & I didn’t nearly get enough done. or have time to kick back & enjoy. maybe next weekend, right? how was your weekend?

my weekend in pictures.

{after a fun morning of catching up & crafting, my friend brenda & I popped into west elm. there was a pop-up shop with a few etsy sellers. & cupcakes!}

{saturday night date at boom noodle wouldn’t have been the same without a s’more crepe!}

{amanda & I did a crafternoon on sunday that included gold paint & glitter. I can’t wait to show you what we were up to!}

{sunday night dinner was thai take-out since we were too busy to get to the store this weekend. no complaints here.}

I apologize for the complete lack of pictures for this weekend post. I had two weekend craft dates & lots of time spent catching up with friends – it was lovely! throw in a good barre workout, a date with my husband & you’ve got yourself a pretty great weekend. how was your weekend?

my weekend in pictures.

{kicked off the weekend with a mani!}

{triple date night at the one day’s wages charity gala on friday night with these ladies.}

{saw captain phillips on saturday night with my mom & grandmother. best movie I have seen in a very long time – definitely recommend!}

{I love this time of year – christmas catalogs!}

{I planted some spring bulbs in the front yard sunday morning while aaron did a little raking. we are pretending to be good homeowners.}

{pumpkin carving with friends on sunday afternoon!}

{aaron, sadie, & jaz playing. it was the sweetest!}

{we have broken out all of our winter gear as our house is already freezing. thank goodness for the genius who invented cashmere pants.}

my mom was in town this weekend & aaron was back east on a business trip so everything seemed a little crazy. crazy, but good! we had an awesome weekend spending time with friends & family which was much-needed. it makes me excited for the holidays coming up & to take some time with loved ones who we don’t get to see every day.

also, a huge shout-out & congratulations to our cousin kendra & her family on the new addition! love you guys!

how was your weekend?
