Tree decorating - only faster!

 

 

Merry Christmas!

Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful

We certainly had frightful weather this weekend with our first blizzard of the season! (Do you get more than 1 blizzard a season? Ummm, don't know. We don't learn about mystical things like that growing up in the South.) Winds were 50+ mph, we got about a foot of snow, temps dropped to the single digits, and wind chills dipped well below 0. The worst of it was to start Saturday afternoon so Saturday morning we picked out a Christmas tree.

Reindeer made the tree lot much more festive

Saturday afternoon the storm rolled in but the snow had largely stopped by Sunday afternoon. We took advantage and went sledding - a first for both Natalie and her Texan mom.





Sunday evening we decorated our tree. Surprisingly Natalie hasn't yet tried to undecorate it!




We have many more pictures of our winter fun uploaded to our Shutterfly site. Take a look!

Deck the Halls!

Well, deck the townhouse... We picked up Natalie's first Christmas tree on Monday night and decorated it last night. She's very interested in touching the branches and watching the lights.

Chris and I are very excited about this holiday season - our first as parents and the joy of watching it through a child's eyes. The festivities are underway! Natalie and I head to Texas today for our Holley Christmas celebration and we can't wait to see everyone there!
