The Sunday after Applecup, Peter, the girls and I went to see a display of a bunch of professionally decorated Christmas Trees. That was a lot of fun. Some of them were gorgeous.... and some not so much.
This one was cool... I think it was my favorite!
If you can't tell, it had an electric train running through the middle of it...
And then there was these atrocious things....
This last one was cool, just because of what it represented.
And then the weekend after that, (or was it two weekends after that??? Anyway, Kathy was invited to go to a cookie exchange, so I baked and baked and baked a bunch of cookies. Kathy couldn't help because she had to work that Saturday, and was actually thinking that she wouldn't be able to go to the exchange at all because she couldn't bake any cookies. So I surprised her and baked ten and a half dozen cookies (three different kinds) and two different types of cookie bars. She was ectatic when she got home and found all the cookies. So she and Natalie got to go to the exchange, the next day, which of course, I had to work through, but it was worth it to see her face light up! That same weekend, Peter got the opportunity to go to a Seahawks game with Jess. He left us girls at home and went and had a boys day out. We didn't go, well, because I had to work.
This past weekend we FINALLY were able to get our Christmas Tree up! YAY! I love decorating for Christmas! I told Peter that when we have our own place again, I'm hiring someone to go buy Christmas decorations and show me how to decorate the inside of our house. I love the look of the nice Christmas decorations, I just don't know how to put it together so it would look nice.
Alexis was, and still is, terrified of the Christmas Tree. She'll look at it from a distance and say pretty, but you will not see her walking by it... which is kind of funny, because she has to walk by it to get to her chair so she can eat, which usually isn't a problem. This was as close as she'd let me put her to put her ornament on.
And here is Natalie putting on her ornament.
And here they are... my two favorite ornaments on the tree.
Here it is, the tree all decorated. Yes it is a fake tree... which kind of bummed me out, but since it's not my house, I couldn't argue too much. In my opinion, real trees are the way to go! The lights are on, but you can't really tell in the picture.
Last but not least I'll end the post of pictures with this last picture... you can't tell me she isn't adorable!
And that is all for tonight. We had a snow fall this past weekend as well, and there are pictures to go with that. But that would make this post way too long, so keep an eye out above for a slide show of those! Hope all is well with everyone and you are having a fun, safe, holiday season! Which reminds me, I have to get the Christmas cards out.... I'm bad and haven't gotten them ready yet.... oops!
