Nick had a 4-day weekend this weekend, and we were busy! Friday involved helping my friend Alice put up Christmas lights on her house and then an awesome ugly sweater party with people from Nick's unit. People really went for it with the ugly sweaters, and I was thoroughly impressed with the creativity, especially from the single guys. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves though and ended up staying until past midnight!
Ugly sweaters, yay! And yes, Nick's does have a moose on itOn Saturday, we had a few people over to watch the Army/Navy game. Unfortunately, Army lost...for the 8th year in a row. It was a pretty decent game though, at least. And watching the 2001 game (the last one Army won) that we TiVo'd helped lessen the sting a little bit. We were also going to go to a potluck with the Newly Married group from church that night, but we were way too exhausted.
Yesterday, we celebrated our Christmas together and opened presents and stockings!!! We got the dogs a couple new toys (a hopefully indestructible Kong and a new tire toy for Rufus), and made a delicious pancake breakfast. Nick was very generous and got me a fire pit for the backyard (yay!), an silly dog calendar, and an awesome How I Met Your Mother book! And we still have 2 more Christmases to celebrate at home!
Opening presents!
The weather was absolutely gorgeous (low 70s), so we busted out the flip flops and shorts and spent as much time outside as possible. It was a good thing too, because we are back to weather in the 50s today! Brrr. Alas, such is the life of a Texan. Shorts weren't really that festive anyway, ha ha. Anyway though, we took advantage of the lovely weather and set up our new tent that we got with some Christmas money!

Nick & Rufus checking out the insideThe dogs really enjoyed checking it out. We're really excited to camp now!
Somehow, we're almost ready to go home on Saturday! Not too much left to do- only a few things left on the to-do list and one more gift to buy. Can't wait for Disneyland, In-n-Out Burger, and the Pacific!

Glad you're having such a great time together!
You guys are too cute! I think you're just a little bit happy that he's home. And yes, the 70 degree weather was nice for a few days but I was getting out of the Christmas spirit so I'm glad it's cold again. It was 7 in Chicago this morning. Merry Christmas!
