That is right now. Well, it was right now about 2 hours ago when I walked into work. It's freezing, 40 degrees today, rain will actually fall down and become sludge this afternoon, not proper snow, we call it freezing rain. Sounds terrifying doesn't it.

Anyway, what a terrific weekend filled with the kind of smooshy lovey dovey gooey nonsense that love fills you with, if you are lucky. And we were and still are VERY lucky.

SATURDAY

Delicious' new earrings, compliments of our dear friend T, she's a jewelry goddess that girl. I had to get something to put inside this...


5th Anniversary is supposed to be a wooden present after all.

So what did Delicious do for me you wonder?


A fantastic hugely big easel!!!! I am so stoked, well on the way to becoming Americas answer to Hunterwasser!

We had a lovely day, ended up wandering around the city for a while and had a nice meal at a cool and froody restaurant.

SUNDAY

We trotted (in our car) up to the Delaware Water Gap

Usually a lush and green place but now, having exploded in fall colors and then rudely thrown its lifeless leaves all over the show, its decidedly gray and sorrowful.

All the better for accentuating our lovely green Christmas tree that we cut down rather maliciously.


Then we had to line up for AGES to get it tied up in a fancy machine.




Had the best time decorating. Weird that I felt young and old at the same time though. I always used to remember decorating and getting the tree when I was young so it brought back those memories. But actually being "Dad" in the situation, like being the man and such, doing the lights, making sure it doesn't fall over etc sort of felt incredibly satisfying. Yet another moment of success in my life.

This is OUR TREE. in OUR HOUSE. Shame we wont be filling the underneath of it with LOADS of huge presents and stuff, but it is very heartwarming I can tell you!

The other significant thing about this Anniversary is that we finally opened our bottle of Johnny Walker Blue.
We were given it 3 years ago by Baby No. 2, Delicious' best friend. We promised back then that we would open it on our 5th and begin talking about...... babies.

We are still on the fence with the whole thing, we settled on a time frame that fits more like us going for it between 35-37 so we have 2 more years to prepare. Not that you can possibly prepare for that sort of thing. And who knows, things change fairly rapidly when your not looking!
