Café Con Monica

December 17, 2013

This weekend was all things Christmas and it was great! I can actually say it was the best weekend I have had in months…I got to spend time with The Boy, my family and both of my best friends. 

All our Christmas fun started with a visit the Macys Santa downtown: 
Holding our place in a almost 2 hour long line…

After 7 years together The Boy & I took our first Santa picture together
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then we went off to the Christkindlmarket for some grub & shopping. Luckily it was snowing and around 30 so it wasn’t too awful to be outside. 

It is impossible to take a cute selfie when layers of clothes on…my arms just don’t move as well as they should. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunday started with a friend throwing her annual Christmas Tea Party. I loved the idea and she throws great themed parties. I think there were about 30 women in the house!

Then…

I made a meetup for the Couples Group I have to go to the Zoolights at Lincoln Park Zoo. We were not lucky enough to have good weather on Sunday night. It was around 14 and very windy. The 3 couples that showed up were great and we ended up having a fantastic time with them. 

So overall…a fantastically(made up word??) festive weekend! 
Have you done anything festive in your City yet?
