Day 303.

Anniversary Gift, originally uploaded by Shutterbug Cel.

My gift from my hubby for our 7 year anniversary. I got him a wireless outdoor speaker. I'd say we both did pretty good.

Today was my husbands b-day. I was even more clueless on what to get him this year. Underneath this wrapping was a Swiss Army watch, I hope he liked it.

Day 141

The Dinner Guest, originally uploaded by Shutterbug Cel.

We are going to an Indian dinner party this evening. The family that is hosting does not believe in drinking or else I would bring a bottle of wine. I went with Sparkling Cider instead. I didn't have a clue what else to bring, it isn't really something that is in their culture either but is very much an American Christmas staple so I thought I would give it a shot.

Day 135

Snowy Gift, originally uploaded by Shutterbug Cel.

We had a very wintery day today. Our first true snow of the season really helped the house look festive.

Day 125

No Peeking!, originally uploaded by Shutterbug Cel.

I had no choice but to start wrapping gifts for my husband tonight as I was running out of hiding space. Not that he would snoop but I bet he goes in there now and counts how many wrapped presents there are!

One thing always missing from our presents are any kinds of curling ribbon or bows. We once had a cat that ate part of a bow and when she got sick months later ended up having to have major surgery to remove the piece stuck in her stomach. Now, we have an even dumber cat that pretty much eats anything so I have to get creative in wrapping. Pretty tags and fabric ribbon are the only things that can adorn our gifts.
