Another weekend flew by!
We finally got around to
decorating the Christmas tree, so that was quite fun. Every year, we try to buy something new to hang on the tree, and this time we found some cool
jingle bell reindeer ornaments. We also get the
Hallmark singing snowmen every year, but Hallmark decided to not have one this year.
We also watched
Stander,
Coraline and the latest episode of
The Good Wife, so it was quite a productive day.

We finished most of our intended errands today, although we still did not manage to decorate our tree. Tomorrow is the day for sure ... really. I promise. Scout's honor!
We did pick up a new monitor, and they were surprisingly cheap. Well, there are still $300 models, but
the one we picked was on sale for $139 and is looking mighty fine.
We were going to go see Avatar today, but the shopping delayed us a bit, and by the time we got to the movie theater, the 5:15pm IMAX showing was already sold out, so we went for drinks instead. *cheers*
