Christmas!!!!!

Every year growing up we had fake trees, which was perfectly fine. My mom had it down to a science because the town house we lived in was pretty tiny. We would only put up half the tree and attach it to the window to keep it upright...totally worked, and totally saved us space. She's so smart!!

However, since Keith and I got together, he's wanted to cut down our own tree. It's kinda become our own Christmas tradition. There's a fantastic place we go in Lovettsville that is open all week and has beautiful trees. This year was no exception and we got a beauty!!











Decorating is always my favorite. We have to many memories tied to most of these ornaments. This was the first year that Chris helped the entire time and that way a lot of fun. We only had the tree come crashing down once...about 10 minutes after we finished decorating it. Fortunately, we only lost a couple ornaments and keith got everything fixed again.









And this is what Sophie was doing while we decorated.



Christmas morning came this year with no surprises thankfully. :) If you don't know abut our house getting broken into last Christmas morning, ask me, it's a funny story. The night before Chris got his pj's and put out cookies. We don't have a fireplace so we have a special key we put outside under the mat. Thankfully he's still at the stage where he will go to sleep, and he was out like a light. We did Christmas with my parents Christmas Eve and went to Maryland Christmas Day.
