Christmas Season

I was so excited to put up the tree on Friday. I couldn't wait for Nate to pull it out of storage so I dragged it out all by myself. We were able to set the tree up fairly quick. Once it was up we went and saw Transporter 3. It was action-packed...a real "guy" movie, but it was fun. After that we decided that this year we'd buy ornaments. Last year all we could afford, being newly married, was the tree. This year we decided to spring for ornaments. Maybe next year I'll make us some stockings. Nate has a stocking at his home and we both have one at my parent's house. I kind of want to make the stockings so that when we have kids, they'll all be uniform but kind of unique for each child. The stockings at my parent's all have our name and then the date and year we were born. I think they're really special because they were knitted by m grandmother. Plus they stretch and can fit boatloads of goodies! Nate and I are so pumped to go to California this year. We've gone the past few years and have created some really fun traditions. I'm counting down the days. Hope you like the pictures of the tree. We look forward to adding macaroni, and pretzel covered ornaments as our future little ones start attending school and what not. That's a long ways off, but fun to think about.

Yay for Melissa's blog!! You finally did it! Glad to see you on here!! Blogging has become quite the addiction of mine. I usually print my posts out and put them in albums, kinda like journaling in a way. Your tree and you are both looking beautiful! Hope you're doing fabulous!!!
