This year Stefan and I decided not to exchange gifts and just get everyone else something and save for our wedding! SO because I love Christmas SO much, I have been VERY addicted to the Pinterest Holiday category and have found such cute ideas and one of them being the 12 Dates of Christmas! We picked 12 things that we want to do together between now & Christmas! We started a little late because we just decided to do it last night so there are a couple nights we joined together to catch up, plus we didn't want our 12th day to be on Christmas so our 12th date will be next Sunday! Here is our 12 Dates of Christmas we plan on doing and what night we are doing them!! (:

So we started tonight! I was so excited and had been waiting ALL day!
(please ignore the nasty mustache! He's not shaving his face until he goes back to school because they make him have a clean shaved face for nursing school and he's getting tired of shaving! I can't wait to see that stache go!
First we ate dinner at Avanti's because I had a coupon that I couldn't waste and it ends Sunday and tonight was the only night we could go! Look how awesome this coupon was...
Okay so we only saved $8.18 but it's still saving money, we could have saved more if my will-power was a little bit stronger and i didn't give in and order a Pepsi...oops :(
Then we headed to Kohl's first! We picked up a few things then headed to Wal-Mart! Lots of fun things actually...
like this awesome new Disney NOW that's what I call music CD!! SO EXCITED!! A girl I work with, Jessica, showed it to me and I have been dyyyying to get it soo i did along with the new Glee CD!!
Stefan tends to get bored pretty easily when shopping! (: He's actually pretty fun to shop with as long as we look at stuff he wants to look at too!! Yes he is holding our wrapping paper up as eyes and it's Disney wrapping paper to be exact (:
And please tell me this doesn't happen to just us ALL the time....
We always get the broken cart or the loudest cart ever!!
