On December 1st, we got our tree! We would have gotten it sooner since Thanksgiving was so early this year, but we decided to wait until after our stay at the Greenbrier. Luci at home alone all night with the tree didn't sound like a good idea ;-)
Our Christmas tree date looked a little different this year since we did it on a Saturday. We had breakfast at home and stopped by Lowes (which was already picked-over!!) before getting our tree from The Lions Club.
Luci came with us this year :-)
Just like last year, we happened to drive up on the Christmas parade! This time we were on our way home from getting a tree. It had started to rain so it was pretty short but it was a great way to kick-off our day of decorating :-)
Our shelves above the TV looked a little different this year so I wanted to document it :-)
After a full afternoon of work, our tree was done! We had officially decked the halls :-)
We headed over to the Connors for game night after all the decorating. Luci decided she would stay home and rest ;-) This was also the night of our last appliance fiasco.
We've had quite a bit of chilly, snowy weather this week. Wednesday was a snow day so Becky and I went to get our nails done while Andy stayed with the kids. It was a pretty, snowy scene outside but we got DUPED! The guy applied gel and charged us for it without even asking first. Being the gel amateurs we are, we didn't even realize it had happened until it was $20 extra when we paid. Ugh!
Luci's favorite way to watch the snow is by the Christmas tree. I adore this photo!
Yesterday, Andy and I went to Roanoke to get a lot of our Christmas shopping done. These musical bears set up in the Valley View Mall reminded me of the singing bears in downtown Charlotte :-)
Today we are hunkered down for what looks like a snow storm! Church has been cancelled so you can find us by the window watching the snow fall :-)
... and if you've made it this far, I'm SO EXCITED to share that my brother and SIL are expecting!! We can't wait to meet baby Parker in June!
