Another good weekend at casa de blundell. Friday night Jonathan and I went to dinner at Chuy’s in Dallas with my best friend Jen and her fiance, Jed. It’s always great getting to catch up and have a good time with them. After dinner we headed over to my parents house to see my neice and nephew because my parents were watcing them. We also made it over to the Medlins and visited with them for a while. And, eventually we made it to our destination, my brother’s house to pick up my beloved oversized, comfy chair that he had been storing. Now that we have a house, we have room for my overly huge chair. It’s the best! Presley is glad to have it back too. She could sleep on it all day long. We also got a Christmas tree from a friend that was a lot bigger than the one we originally had. We put up our Christmas tree a week or two ago and it was just kind of skimpy, not a big tree by any means. So we got this new tree and I had to put it up so we took down the old tree and moved it all to the new tree. That’s when all the fun with the Christmas tree started. Below you will find a picture of the old tree–Jonathan is there to put it into perspective:
This is the new tree all decorated and after it was put back upright–more to come on that!
So we got the tree up on Friday night but not after some hassel. The tree stand that came with it was for a real tree so it didn’t really hold the artificial tree and the tree kept wanting to fall over. After a while we got it sturdy enough that if no one were to touch the tree it would be fine. HA! Well
Well, Saturday we woke up, after sleeping in-YEAH, and went to Lowes and Target…the usual stops on the weekend as of lately. We picked up the storm door we wanted to put on our front door and a new vaccum…my vaccum decided to stop working on us. Jonathan’s parents and grandparents came over Saturday afternoon and his dad installed the storm door for us. Later that night we all went to Cracker Barrel for dinner–soooo good. I basically got a plate full of starch-delicious. Good ‘ole chicken ‘n dumplins with mashed potatos and hashbrown caserole.
Oh I forgot about the tree on Saturday–okay, we the tree had been holding up nicely over the last 12 -18 hours until now….when Jonathan’s mom wanted to take a picture of us infront of the tree…..we were standing in front of the tree and all of a sudden–Bam, here comes the tree falling towards us and the ground. So here was our nice big Christmas tree laying on the ground with all our ornaments and everything. It was pretty funny to watch. We got the tree back in the right position and nothing broke believe it or not. After dinner we drove back to lowes and got a new artificial tree stand and now it’s all good–mainly because you can’t see the book under one side of the tree stand making it not lean–it’s our ghetto Christmas tree.
Sunday we went to church–i was in the nursery so I missed the mesage. After church we went to Whataburger with some friends and then I went to a baby shower for a friend in Richardson. Jonathan is still on his weekend–Lucky! He starts his new job tomorrow so I’m sure he’ll take advantage of this nice day off.
