This weekend was packed full of fall fun and a little snippet of Christmas.
Friday night, I went to Pure Barre, so I got home a little later than normal. DG surprised me by cooking dinner (chicken nuggets, tater tots, and garlic bread) and he went to Aviator to get a growler of our favorite cold weather beer, Frost Nipper. It was awesome, but he took it even further by having a fire out back.
Saturday, I got a Shellac manicure with a Groupon I bought, a blow-out a Parlor, and then had a fun afternoon with a former student from when I student taught who took some outfit pictures for the blog. We met in Oakwood Cemetery and it was a gorgeous day!
If you live in Raleigh, you should spend the day exploring Oakwood.
DG and I went to a pumpkin carving party Saturday afternoon, and DG’s pumpkin got stolen. It was sort of hysterical, but he takes his pumpkin carving seriously. So, he’s going to do that this week.
We went to dinner at My Way Tavern after the party, and I got my favorite cobb salad.
We had a sweet little house guest too. This is Q; his mom and dad ran the Marine Corps Marathon Sunday morning in D.C., so we brought him over to spend the night. He’s a good dog and Winston had the best time playing.
Sunday, I went in to work because we’re getting ready for Christmas. DG and I adore decorating our house for Christmas, so I was PUMPED for a sneak peak. I’ve also worked up an idea for a giveaway for the holidays on here! Stay tuned… it’s coming soon!
When I got off work, DG and I took Winston to Bombshell Brewery for Howl-o-ween. We didn’t dress him up, but he had a good time showing off and meeting other pups. He crashed so hard on Sunday night.
How was your weekend? Link up and let Biana and me know!
I love decorating for Christmas too, I may have already started some of my shopping for the holidays. That salad looks delicious!
I got a mani this weekend too. Such a treat! That Cobb salad looks delish!
I love Christmas decorations too. I bought a gingerbread house cookie jar yesterday! I already have it out on display. ha!!
Love that Christmas decorations are coming soon!! Good job on the hubs for dinner and making a fire to come home to! Sounds like a great weekend. Hope you have a great week too!
Girl I'm dying over your Friday night dinner – I don't think I've ever met a person who loves tater tots more than me…and then there's you!!! Can't wait to see the pictures you took!! xo
My Way Tavern is so good, my fiance got this huge sandwich one time I don't remember the name but it was about as tall as half his face..he ate the whole thing.
That salad looks really good. Nights spent out by the fire is always a good idea!
What a fun weekend. Love the meal you had on Friday, too ha – sounds so good! Q looks SO much like our childhood dog Chip. So excited for Christmas and your upcoming potential giveaway ;)
I was in B&BW last week and they were already playing Christmas music… it's blowing my mind that the holidays are right around the corner! And that cobb salad looks like the best.thing.ever. Glad you had a good weekend :)
howl-o-ween – ok how cute is this?!
I'm so excited about Christmas decorations too! I'm waiting for Thanksgiving but I guarantee, Thanksgiving evening, Bing will be singing as I string twinkle lights across every surface!
Girl, you had me at the Christmas decorations! I am anxiously awaiting an appropriate time to begin my Christmas music!

Who steals a pumpkin?!?! Looks like a great weekend though- I love cobb salads and those pretty little ornaments get me excited for Christmas.. I can't believe it's almost November!
His pumpkin was stolen???? That is so sad!!! Getting in a PB class on a Friday after work seriously isn't it the best feeling? I love finishing off my week with a butt kicking class like that! I totally just bought a blow out from Groupon/LS can't wait to use it!
Christmas decorating is my favorite! I cant wait to bust mine out too!

What a fun weekend!! I'm so antsy to decorate for xmas but then I remember that Campbell is a complete jerk with the xmas tree so I dont' want to deal with that any longer than I have to!
Who would steal his pumpkin?? That's awful! But I love Christmas decorating too. I have to contain myself pretty hard at this point since most places already have their Christmas stuff out!
I love a good cobb salad!! Looked like a fun weekend!
Hooray for bonfires and Christmas ornaments!
Omg a bonfire in the Fall= bliss! All you needed was some s'mores :)
That salad looks delicious!!! Can't wait to see what you're cooking up for the Christmas giveaway! :)
