We're onto the first weekend of December! We eased into it with pretty low-key plans. Eric had shows all weekend in southwest Michigan, so I was on my own for the most part. Sometimes I love making plans with friends when he's off playing shows, but sometimes I also just love having the weekend to myself. On Friday night, I cooked myself a super yummy dinner of bowtie pasta with sausage and escarole, watched Christmas movies all night, and was in bed by 11pm. Kind of heavenly!

This past weekend, we headed north for our annual tradition of cutting down our Christmas tree! It’s always one of my favorite days of the entire year. Christmas brings so many fun traditions, and as I’m getting older, I’m realizing that I really love tradition, routine, and the simple things in life. I think I’ve always known that, but it definitely becomes more clear every single year. Especially now that I’m 30. You just learn to let go of the dumb little things, and focus on the important things. Like choppin’ down an ol’ tree with your family! ;)
