It has been a little difficult to get in the Christmas Spirit this year with school and work, but we are taking baby steps.
Exhibit A: We recently purchased the cinnamon scented pine cones. Mark put the bag in front of our space heater to spread the smell throughout our house. Now all Mark wants is cinnamon candy.
Exhibit B:
Let's just say I am really tempted to draw a fireplace on my wall.
Exhibit C: Last weekend Mark and I went to the wilderness to cut down our own Christmas Tree. I was especially excited as this would be my first real Christmas Tree. Needless to say, it has its advantages and disadvantages. At least we didn't come home with any little chipmunks to torment our dogs; however, that would have made a great post.
As we were dragging the tree I felt like I was in 101 Dalmations
when they sweep away their tracks with the tree branches.
You couldn't even tell we had been there. . .
We had hot chocolate to warm up
after trudging through thigh deep snow.
Putting on the lights
Organizing the ornaments
Can't wait to get some presents under the tree.
