International Market, tree climbing & decorating…

Feeling the holiday vibes yet? I finally ordered a shiny Xmas tree (couldn’t resist) and put it together. I haven’t got a pictures of it at night when it’s lit up yet. Looks fab! Just a pic of me piecing it together and Hunter supervising 🙂

Also helped Angel decorating her tree 🙂

We think we did so good that we deserved to be rewarded for our efforts. Off to the International Market we went. I love poking around in there. Anyone up for some blood or a pork uterus perhaps?

Favorite section is without a doubt the candy section! I bought some Swedish ‘knäckebröd’ to put some ham on, some herring for my sister, lingonberry jam for meatballs and candy. My sister is spending Xmas and New Years here so got to have some Swedish/Finnish stuff on the table. I never tried herring and don’t plan to… What’s your must haves for the Christmas dinner?

Knocking out pics and vids too. Tried to engage Hunter into the Christmas spirit, but as usual he gave zero f*ucks!

One night I was outside with Hunter patrolling our street. This is a nightly routine we have. He always looks up the tree outside our house. He sometimes runs up looking like he’s going to climb it, but never does. So I decided to lift him up to see what he would do. Well, he took off climbing. I got nervous that he might not be able to make it down and started forming a plan how I would get up there to rescue him. He made it down on his own luckily!

When not climbing trees, he oversees me or sleeps next to me…

Did an other attempt in the cryo chamber. Lasted 1 minute. The girl that stays in the room while you’re inside, said that I should really try to stay inside the whole 3min to get the full benefit from it. So now that’s my goal for next time! Have to find that Finnish ‘sisu’ I’m suppose to posses somewhere…

Last night I went to a holiday party with Angel. Ate like a champ, lost in the games we played and finished up by making s’mores by the fire pit.

Saw these awesomely decorated houses when walking Angels dogs. One year I hope to decorate my house like these!

On my 2nd cup of coffee now. Considering the gym or cleaning up the house a bit. Or maybe read… Don’t have too many plans for next week. Maybe some Xmas shopping, throw in a bit of work, hit the gym + pickleball and next Sunday Sandy is coming to visit from LA, yeay! What are you up to? Shopping gifts? Decorating? Whatever your plans are, me & Hunter wish you fantastic week 🙂
