Teacup Full of Cherries

Bobby has it bad. In the span of 7 days he has my birthday, Christmas, and our anniversary. Oh, but he handled it so well.

We made cookies!Lil was impressed with our decorating skills ala’ Martha Stewart.

We bought a real tree & decorated it!

Twinkle lights! …and needles everywhere.

Mah birthday starts off all the festivities. December 21st. I turned the big 2-6. Bobby surprised me a few hours before midnight on Dec. 20th by hiding my present under the tree while my back was turned:

Awesomeness. So we played that well into midnight to celebrate. The next day (my ACTUAL BIRTHDAY) Bobby took me to a fancy dinner @ Christopher’s. It was delicious and we had cheese, salmon, and my favvvvv: truffle fries!!!

Here I am at 26 years old, excited for truffle fries.

On to the main event: CHRISTMAS! So, of course, we couldn’t wait to open our presents until Christmas morn, so we did so on Christmas Eve afternoon.

I got a beeeeutiful locket & Beatles Rock Band. Hells yah! Bobby, his sister, and I ended up playing the entire game Christmas night. It took 4 hours, and yes, we even played the very, very last song since we were patient enough to sit though the credits. I sang, of course.

Bobby got his 4th calculator watch to replace the last one I bought him, an old money clip advertising the delightfully punny bar in Alaska: the Polar Bar. Oh yeah, I got him tickets to see Jeff Tweedy on December 27th!

So, December 27th rolls around, and we go see Jeff Tweedy at the Orpheum. We had a light snack at Hanny’s with some friends who were also going beforehand. It’s a cute little venue and Jeff Tweedy played an excellent acoustic set.

The next day was our 2 year anniversary, (and also my first day back to work since the 18th)! Wow-wow-wuzzy! So there I was, not excited to be back at work when I had a delivery! FLOWERS! AT WORK! AWESOME!

Freshening up my office. Some are still alive to this day!

When we got home, we decided to recreate our first date. First we headed to the oh-so-cheesy ZooLights.

Delightful! Then we took or growling stomachs to where we had our first dinner: Postino! In true Bobby style, he surprised me again with some lovely pink sapphire earrings! We decided to head home after that. We fell asleep around 11pm while watching the Simpsons. How romantic.

Phew, what a week.
