Date Night

Dave and I took advantage of a superbowl neither one of us wanted to watch by headed out to the movies.

We started out evening with some amazing lettuce wraps that Dave made. He used pork, carmelized onions, apples, cashews, and avocado wrapped up in huge iceberg lettuce leaves. They were DELICIOUS! I am glad one person in our family is good in the kitchen. Hopefully the new addition will be able to pick up on Dave's culinary skills.

We headed out to the movies to watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. We both enjoyed it, but I found some of the scenes a little disturbing. I read the book recently and was pleased that the movie followed the book with only a few exceptions. I hate it when the screenplay is completely different than the book.

We are still hoping to head out for a nice dinner before the arrival of the little one.

Christmas Day

Dave and I played with the self timer on our camera today. After about 25 pictures we got our first family portrait with the baby.

This morning we woke up and opened our presents. We do not exchange big gifts. Dave gets a bottle of tequila from me and I get a teapot from him. Other than that we just do fun stocking stuffers.

Besides matching pajamas another tradition we have is to go to the movies on Christmas night. This year we saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie. It was not as good as the first one, but the cinematography was pretty amazing.

I hope Santa treated you well. We have to wait until March to get our bext present this year, but I think it is worth the wait!
