Hello and welcome to my Five for Friday! I am linking up with Bright on a Budget, Della Devoted, and BYBMG!
1. Last Friday we went and picked up a Christmas tree. We went to a tree farm to cut down our own tree. It's been a while since we've been able to do that (it's just not the same going to a tree lot!). It took us forever to get there because Apple Maps took us on the most ridiculous route on all of these back roads. Like the we're-going-to-be-murdered-out-here-in-hicksville kind of back roads.
Anyways, we arrived safely and were able to get a tree! The place was pretty busy and it was really cold! None of us dressed warm enough, so we tried to be quick about picking a tree!
And then when we left we just followed everyone else and there was a way quicker route that took us probably a third of the time to get back to the freeway. So we are SO DONE with Apple Maps!
2. We ended up celebrating Thanksgiving on Saturday so my brother could come down. He had to work Wednesday and Friday, so he wasn't able to be here for Thanksgiving, so it just worked out better that way.
We had a nice Thanksgiving. All of the food was very good! I brined the turkey again and it turned out so good. It was very flakey and tender. Even though someone way overcooked it. (not naming names but it wasn't me. ;) ).
After eating we did some shopping and came back to eat pie!
3. We had to go out to Virginia Beach on Monday (if you saw my Instagram story you saw why.) but anyways, it was my first time out there and it was nice to see the beach! It rained all morning and was really windy so we didn't stay too long. We walked along the beach (and right into the wind!) for a little bit before turning back.
4. Thought I would share that Amazon has three months of Kindle Unlimited for only $0.99! I've never used Kindle Unlimited before, but three months for only $0.99 is a pretty good deal! I already have a long list of books to try!
(And if the first link there doesn't work, try this one: Kindle Unlimited deal. I was trying to find a link that wasn't using someone else's promo code, but it won't let me view the link since I already purchased it.)
5. And because this is too funny not to share, here is a squirrel story for you!
My sister was up in the third floor/attic room playing a video game when she heard noise over by the window. Glancing over she sees this:
My sister, of course, started taking a bunch of pictures! The squirrel hung around for a little while before eventually falling all the way down. My sister said once he hit the ground he took off running (probably embarrassed haha).
I really just can't believe that happened and every time we think about it we laugh because it's just so ridiculous!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Omg that ridiculous squirrel! I'd definitely still be laughing about that myself. And yay for finding a Christmas tree! We've never cut down our own tree, probably because my dad and I are always cold after being outside for 1.5 seconds hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI went with Nicolas's family and chopped down a real Christmas tree for the first time last year. Although I was freezing, I do think that it is such a nice tradition! Also, I haven't been to Virginia Beach in years!!! I really like it there. :) Have a great week, girl!

I know, right? It was pretty funny! It was SO COLD when we cut down our tree! None of us dressed well enough for just how cold it was so we quickly cut one down and got out of there!
ReplyDeleteCutting down a Christmas tree is fun! I like being able to look at all the trees and it's nice to see how they actually look instead of when they're all bundled up or squished together at the tree lot. It was so cold and windy when we were in Virginia Beach, we will definitely have to go back when the weather is a little warmer!
