Black Friday.

Happy Black Friday morning from a little white dog…

As we were venturing out into the Black Friday afternoon, we couldn’t help but notice this funny, little guy on the sidewalk outside our building…

As is Black Friday tradition, we made our way to Lowe’s to pick out a little Christmas tree…

There’s our little Christmas tree!

We had lunch at Buckhead Mountain Grill…

And found DuClaw Brewing Company’s Sweet Baby Jesus at Party Source…

Our little tree at home…

We’ll have to decorate our little tree this week…

Later, we tried DuClaw Brewing Company’s Dirty Little Freak Coconut Caramel Chocolate Brown Ale …

It was good. But not nearly as good as this…

Mmmm… Sweet Baby Jesus! And finally, we saw this guy made it inside our building…

Someone put him on top of the fireplace in the lobby. All in all, it was a pretty nice, relaxed Black Friday. 🙂

Our Thanksgiving.

We hope everyone had as great of a Thanksgiving as we did. Our morning started with some delicious magic crescent rolls…

We noticed the label on our cranberry sauce was on upside down…

Genifer was making the green bean casserole…

On the way over to Genifer’s mom’s house, we saw all these birds just hanging out being happy that they’re not turkeys…

We hope everyone had a very thankful and delicious Thanksgiving! I know we did. It was a great day. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #5.

Tonight, we walked down to US Bank Arena to see our Cyclones take on the Fort Wayne Komets on the biggest bar night of the year. It’s our fifth hockey game of the season…

US Bank Arena was packed tonight. It seems like every college kid in Cincinnati was at US Bank Arena. I wish I could say that everyone was there for the game…

Because it seemed like everyone was just in line for $1 beers. And once they got their beers, it seemed like they just got back in line. It made for ridiculously long lines everywhere in US Bank Arena not just for the dollar beers. We don’t remember it being that bad last year. Nowhere even close. But eventually, we did finally manage to get a couple of beers…

We ended up ducking out during the second intermission. When this game rolls around next season, I think this is one we’ll probably skip. We went to this game last year, and it wasn’t nearly as annoying. US Bank Arena was nutty and the concession lines were way out of control. And the Cyclones ended up losing 3-2 in overtime.

#TBT Pause for paws.

Milan used to love going to Fido Field…

He’d climb up the big hill…

To get up to the fenceline that ran along Gilbert Avenue…

And he’d wait patiently…

Waiting for cars to come around the bend…

And then race them down Gilbert Avenue…

He loved running and loved racing cars…

I really miss that bud dog. A lot. 🙂

Goodnight Moon.

When I was walking home from work, I couldn’t help but notice the big, bright moon hovering just above our building…

When we were walking Oscar, the moon was just as bright, if not brighter than the streetlights…

It looked like more like a moon you’d see around Halloween instead of a moon you’d see just a few days before Thanksgiving…

Goodnight Moon. Taken with Instagram. 🙂

A lazy Sunday.

When Genifer got home from work, we went across the river to grab a bite to eat at Buckhead Mountain Grill. I love the view of downtown Cincinnati from Bellevue, Kentucky. Especially at dusk…

We got home in time to watch the first leg of the Crew’s MLS playoff semi-final versus Red Bulls. And the Crew won 2-0! The match included the Crew scoring the fastest goal in MLS playoff history, just 9 seconds into the match. Genifer picked up a little growler of DuClaw Brewing‘s Sweet Baby Jesus Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter from Flipdaddy’s…
