Adventures - Christmas Eve & Christmas

So we always celebrate on Christmas Eve and we prepare all of the Italian dishes from my family.

After dinner we opened up stockings.  We just did stockings this year, but hubby buy me more than just stocking stuffers.  He got a big present before Christmas.  Z was really excited for the stockings - his and both of ours.

We always have extra frozen bread dough, so a couple of years ago, we started making cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning.

When my aunt Helen was in the nursing home, we started ordering Chinese on Christmas Day.
We've continued that tradition since she passed away.

We hope your day was good!

Adventures for the week - December 20

So I really want to start getting more active on here.  I usually post to Instagram which is linked to Facebook for Daily Zed.

Tuesday, we went to see the lights around the neighborhood and then to Leesburg, Va where there is a house that has lights and music.  They also do this at Halloween time. - Edwards Landing Lights.  We decided that since we would probably just be in the car to bring Z.  He doesn't mind the car at all.  
He kind of freaked out because he slid off of the seat and we decided to just bring him up front.  He just FROZE.  Dan was like "maybe he thinks we are dropping him off."  Once he was upfront on my lap, he was fine.  We drove around then headed up to Leesburg.  We didn't know how big of an event it was going to be.  There were people hanging out all over.  We parked and luckily we had his leash with us.

Esa's ring arrived - both of them!

So I reordered an Esa ring from another Etsy shop and it was a success! The ring fits perfectly and is the exact match of the first ring.

Yesterday, what came in the mail, but the first ring!  I was excited, until I looked at the ring - the font was different, which is no biggy but the dates are wrong! 

All I can say is I'm glad that it didn't come and I ordered another one. I would have been so upset.

Anyway, it all works out! I am so happy with the ring.
