Remember how earlier this month I made a of things I wanted to accomplish this Christmas season? Well I accomplished a few more things this past weekend.
Number 2, James and I celebrated our Anniversary on Wednesday as embaressing as this may be the cake is already gone. That James!
Number 3, we order our cards and half of them have already been sent, so friends beware cheesy Christmas cards comming your way.

On Friday we went to see Glorious Christmas Nights at West End Assemby of God. Unknowing we accomplished number 7 and 8. This is the second Christmas show we have seen and while there we realized we have seen it almost ever year since we were married. We actually started going to it before we were married. Its a amazing show and if you live in the Richmond Area you must go see it next year!
Number 12 and 14 can be crossed off too.
That is my roommate from good ole college days, Ashley. I know my BIG head is blocking her but maybe you can make her out. We met at Christmas Town this weekend and dranks lots of hot chocolate. We later found out later was melted soft serve icecream and syrup. Yay for winter coats that will hide huge muffin tops caused by mass amounts of hot chocolate.

So let us review what is left:
1. Attend a Christmas wedding. I have a weakness for these and my dear friend is tying the knot December 3rd. It is going to be Ah-maz-ing!
2. Have my cake & eat it to. James & I celebrate our 3 year anniversary the 7th
3. Send out personalized cards on time! Last year we were sending out days before the big day.
4. Decorate our tree on turkey day.
5. Watch as many Christmas movies as possible
6. Visit the malls and NOT shop but enjoy the decorations
7. See a Christmas play or two.
8. Start a tradition
9.Make or buy monogram stockings. I am only so crafty so this may end up in a purchase.
10. Finish our Christmas shopping before December. I want to focus on the holidays not on meaningless thoughtless last mintue gifts. So spoiler alert everyone is getting gift cards. hello Black Friday!
11. Tacky Tour. In good ole RVA we have the tacky tour- a scenic route where you drive around and visit houses that are covered in lights. We always say we are going to this but never leave our own backyard to see the lights.
12. Visit Williamsburg and see my sister from another mother. Willamsburg is BEAUTIFUL during the holidays and it the perfect middle point for me and my college roommate who lives in Virginia Beach
13.See the deer. During Christmas the city is filled with beautiful decorated deer. It was a traditon during my childhood to drive down there and check out the deer.
14. Drink hot coccoa until I bleed it.
15. Give our tree a new look this year. We been doing blue, white & silver for 3 years now.
16. Go to Christmas Eve service. I especially like the midnight ones.
17. Make cookies-have a cookie party?
18. Make our home festive
19. Listen to Christmas Music. I usually don’t do this cause I don’t want to get tired of it but maybe I’ll listen to the mix we made for our wedding.
20. GIVE TO OTHERS in some way, time, money, gifts.

Fingers cross I can finish the rest of this before Christmas. It just over 2 weeks away!
