Well, it's that time of year! Snow falling, sledding, making snowmen...BUT, not here! I guess we could make sandmen but they wouldn't work well huh? As we got our Christmas tree it was odd because it still doesn't feel like Christmas to us! Yes, the calender says December 12, 2008. But the weather says September 3! It's weird to be singing "Baby it's cold outside" and "Let It Snow" while cruising along the street with the sunroof and all the windows open; definitely a first for me, and sadly the second year for Matt. It has been fun though; I'm actually liking the fact that I can wear just jeans and a long sleeved shirt and flip flops to go shop for presents, instead of having to layer up, get the poofy jacket on, and trudge through the snow at all times to get from point a to point be. However, we do miss the snow, the cold (or chilliness) that comes with it, having to snuggle up under a blanket with cocoa to watch a movie. SO, if you are cold, count yourself lucky! There are those of us who aren't and kind of want to be at times!
Another first for us is spending the entire holiday season with out our families. Last year we had Thanksgiving with my parents, then Christmas totally alone, just the 2 of us, which was definitely a first! This year, the whole sha-bang is all alone; Thanksgiving was spent with some families from our church, which was such a blessing, we were truly thankful for! Christmas will be the same, we'll open presents the 2 of us and then dinner with the families, which we are so excited for! It'll be soo wonderful to spend the birth of our Savior with such wonderful and loving families!
So these are the pics of us with Joey and our tree and the final product of our decorated tree at home!
