Christmas Fun

A couple of weeks ago (yes, it was BEFORE Thanksgiving!!) we invited our friends, Darin and Tracy, over on a Sunday evening to decorate the Christmas tree. It was cold outside (70 degrees Farenheit or so) and rainy, so the chili we had for dinner was fantastic! We also made cookies and poppycock (is that how you spell it, Darin?) and hot chocolate and snacked on them while we listened to Christmas music and decorated the tree. It was so much fun!!

Tracy very graciously attempting to find that one burnt out lightbulb.

Luis giving me a kiss next to the finished product!! :-)

Unfortunately, Mia had to go to sleep before the night was over, so we still need to get a family picture next to the tree. We've got it up on top of a cabinet in the den so that Mia can't get to it without some help from us. Thanks, Darin & Tracy, for helping to make this a memorable Christmas for our family!!
