Hi everyone! Welcome to 2020!
I hope you all had a great holiday break. T & I went to the Okanagan for a week over Christmas which was lovely and relaxing. There isn't a lot to do there so we spent most of our time just hanging out with family eating, drinking, reading and doing puzzles. We made & decorated Star Wars sugar cookies with my sister's family and then went to see
Rise of Skywalker; we drove around on Christmas Eve looking at all the houses lit up; we had Christmas brunch at my parent's house and dinner at my Aunt's (I made
caramel apple upside down cake for dessert!); we watched old movies on Boxing Day; went wine tasting and then did karaoke at our local ski hill for my cousin's wife's birthday, and then came back to Vancouver for the last 5 days of the holidays!
The day after we got back, T had plans with friends so I went downtown to return a few Cyber Week purchases (
this,
this and
these), and to look for some jeans at
Nordstrom since I had a couple of gift cards. I also wanted to try on
these boots, but they didn't have them in stock. I tried on
these ones instead and really liked them, but they weren't on sale so were about twice as much, and I was concerned about not being able to wear socks since the side cut-out is so low. One of the reasons I would choose a boot over a flat is because you can wear socks with boots which equals warmer feet!
I ended up buying
this pair of jeans by Mother and Nordstrom hemmed them for me for free. I wore them last weekend and so far they are great! I sized down one size in these.
I worked on January 2 and 3 but this week was my full first week back!
