Christmas in pictures

Guys, how was your Christmas? I'm finally getting around to posting some Christmas pictures. Ridiculous, I'm aware.

We spent Christmas in Indiana with Eric's family. Lots of fun happened, even after our day in the city.

























friends // pretty presents // presents under the tree // Amaretto & Coke // Sangria I made // ...more alcohol/where my bro-in-law took over the camera? // HUGE flame // presents! // for sure stealing that wrapping technique // Munchkin // Munchkin + wine // a glimpse of the Dr. Who sweatshirt

I love the holidays. ::sigh::

In the city

Yesterday, after getting to Indiana late late on Friday night/early early Saturday morning, we ventured to Chicago for a day of seeing "The Hobbit", walking around Navy Pier, shopping on Michigan Avenue and ending the day with dinner at a Bosnian place in Lincoln Square. It was a good, tiring day.

Pumpkins!

We carved pumpkins!

We were maybe/most definitely a little too ambitious this year. Since the man discovered Dr. Who months ago, he's been nothing short of obsessed. Because I like to do things that make him happy, I printed off a couple Dr. Who pumpkin carving stencils.

As you'll see, they involved a lot of detail...too much detail. Neither of us will swear by our patience, so I'm a little surprised that I actually completed as much as I did. Eric did not stick with it as long, but whatevs. At least now we know we're just an all-American, jack-o-latern-carving couple.

I would like to say that mine actually did turn out pretty good. High-five, self.

(Eric passed on a final result picture.)
