One of the trees at work went up Friday night as I was leaving and it got me all excited. I took it as a sign to switch to the Christmas music station and start pulling out the Christmas decorations at home.
Josh and I didn't get to start decorating immediately that night as we had tickets to see Black Violin. I played the violin growing up so I was pretty excited for this show. These guys blend hip hop with classical musical and it is beyond phenomenal. They had us up out of our seats dancing to Jay Z and Mozart.
Saturday was frigid. I went from no coat at all on Friday to all the winter layers. If I can't feel my face at least my hat is cute. ;)
Our walk was worth the cold because we were going to La Buvette for their Beaujolais wine celebration.
Beaujolais is a French holiday wine that is released at 12:01am on the 3rd Thursday of November each year with fireworks and a huge celebration. 12:01am French time is actually the middle of the afternoon for us. We wanted to get in on that party.
The wine was fabulous. I'm not normally a red fan and I loved it. We paired our wine with some delicious cheese and hummus plates and made an afternoon out of the event.
For dinner Josh made butternut squash risotto for us from Blue Apron. He's been a huge fan of their service and ordering it pretty regularly. I don't complain because then I get delicious homemade meals like this one!
Our Saturday night was wild and crazy. We went to a Bingo hall! I grew up playing Bingo with my grandma in Church basements so I was super excited to go with Josh.
This Bingo was intense! First off, I didn't know there were halls dedicated just to Bingo. Second off, I didn't know you could play this many boards at once! And there were some people playing even more! While we didn't win, we had a ton of fun, and met some really nice people. We plan on making this a winter tradition!
Sunday was for relaxing and cleaning and watching all the Bravo shows. At night Josh and I picked up Voodoo Taco and went to Spirit World for their brandy and beer tasting. The event was packed and so much fun. I just wish it wasn't on a Sunday. ;)
Now I'm off to work to work my one workday this week before heading to Connecticut for the holidays! I can't believe Thanksgiving is this week!
