Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

It's been a crazy month for the White's in Amarillo, so I thought I would take a moment and share some of our Christmas cheer with you.

The first two weeks of December are filled with symphony performances and events. (6 KinderKonzerts, 8 Nutcracker performances and one Beethoven Society Dinner). During all of the hectic symphony holiday oriented performances, neither Bryan or I had much of the Christmas spirit to decorate the house for the approaching holidays.

After the performances concluded, on December 14, Bryan and I headed to the local tree lots to find our Christmas tree. We decided that this year we would have a real tree. We both thought a real tree shouldn't be up for more than two weeks (avoiding all of those pesky fire hazards) so surely there would be trees left.

We thought wrong. There were only a handful of trees left at the time we were searching for our Christmas tree. We decided on a 7 foot Noble Fir. This tree has a bit of character, sporting a rather crooked trunk and everything!

Here Bryan utilizes his manly tech skills and is busy attaching the tree to the roof of our car.


Here's a picture of our tree once it was decorated and in our living room. It's a cheery sight!


Bryan even decided to surprise me by making a Christmas wreath out of the extra pieces from our Christmas tree.


The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...


From our house to yours, Bryan says, "FLEECE Navidad"!

It's true, he actually said this - I can't make this stuff up. Merry Christmas!
