Last Sunday, November 27th, Andy and I stayed home after church instead of going to the in-laws. We made some turkey rolls, using the left over turkey, and enjoyed a quiet dinner. After Andy went through some of his old boxes, we started to decorate our house. I actually put up the tree the day before. We got it from a teacher at my school, who got a new one that came pre-lit. Andy did have to help me fix part of the top that I broke off when he got home from work. It sure is nice to have a handy husband.

So on Sunday we decorated the tree with our ornaments. I’m glad that my mom has made it a tradition to give all of us a new ornament every year because it was nice to have enough to decorate the tree. However, I did have way more than 29 ornaments because I’ve been given some by other people as well. Andy also had some ornaments that he has collected through the years.

As you can tell, it was a very relaxing Sunday. We didn’t dress up to decorate at all. Andy even made us some hot cocoa and we had Christmas music playing on Pandora.

I had a few decorations, but I also bought some from Dollar Tree and Deseret Industries. I like getting cheap things.

Here we are in front of our tree.

We aren’t putting lights on the outside of our house, so we put some in our front window.

Don’t worry, Mom! We didn’t forget to put out the Christmas bears. Only 2 of these were mine as a kid, but my mom gave them all to me anyways. Sorry Trisha and Mark! If you want them, you will have to come and get them!

In the background on the left you can somewhat see our Nativity.
