Trim Up the Tree!

This year we got a real tree since we no longer have the cats.  Ally has been waiting.  She, Bree, and I picked it up and somehow got it home and set up.  We decorated it later.  It's like pulling teeth to get Amy and Ally to help decorate now, and they don't like it when I put Christmas music on either... sigh.  I was never like that!  Too many more important things to take up time, I guess... like boys.  Ew.

We have a lot of old special ornaments like the one I have with the letter inside that wrote Santa when I was nine years old and it was published in the local paper.  And the ones the kids made in school.  We have one from when Amy was four years old, and it is made of some sort of dough.  I don't know how it made it this far, but it is as hard as a rock!  Ha!

Guess I will have to wait for grandkids to bring back some of the holiday spirit.  And according to Amy that's going to have to be up to Ally years later.

It's been warm, warm here.  We just had a rain storm move in and out though... I guess that was winter.


This is the only snowman we will see this year... ha!


Ally is camping for several days with some friends... they are probably freezing in the mountains, but she still have phone reception and she said they're having fun.

Love Is In The Air!

Amy became engaged to Dylan today...


They had been planning to get married for awhile and were just waiting on the ring and the official engagement.

The date has been set for February 10, and I did the invitations to save money.  All the invites and RSVP cards for $35.00 -- not bad!


Looking forward to it... it will be a small wedding and will be down by the water.

We added him to our family Christmas pic!  Chris has a guy to take his side, finally!
