IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

... in our house that is. Robbie surprised me with a tree one day when I came home from work. He greeted me at the door, stopped me in my tracks, and then turned on the song "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree." We went out that night, chose the best tree topper from our limited selection, and continued to decorate our tree with garnet and gold ornaments. Those colors may not shine on a football field, but they do make a Christmas tree sparkle.





It didn't take long for Robbie and I to begin our Christmas shopping. While he is almost completely done, I still have some brainstorming to do. This year, our goal is to purchase gifts that are practical, yet still enjoyable.. Sure, underwear is practical, but who really wants that for Christmas? This will be our second Christmas together as a married couple.. it's too soon to resort to that as a gift. So while the Holiday season is still early, we are going to enjoy our tree and the presents underneath it for as long as we can.

Thanks for your sweet comment. It really brought a smile to my face just knowing you guys are praying for us. :-)

Your tree is so cute! We are planning on putting ours up this weekend. I can't believe you already have gifts wrapped and under it! That's impressive.
