Christmas Recap

I know it is already past the holiday season but thought I could post a brief summary of our Christmas for those that didn't get to celebrate with us.

This is the first year that Ben and I had room to set up a Christmas tree.   We spent way too long in Hobby Lobby picking out the perfect tree and coordinating ornaments...but I'd say it turned out pretty nice. :-)

I also tried my hand at some homemade decorations.  Ben was kind enough to spray paint some sticks from the back yard for me (He really likes to spray paint things).

We got to spend time in December with Ben's Family and actually had a beautiful White Christmas (as documented in Ben's time lapse video – one of the many features of his new camera)!  I have a feeling that this year will be well documented photographically.

We (I mean, Ben) didn't take many pictures of us in Dallas, but this one pretty much summarizes Woody's holiday activities (He says thanks for the pillow Donna!):

Last weekend my family came to celebrate at our house...except my poor brother in law, who got sick and didn't get to come.  Here are some pictures of the festivities.



All in all, it was wonderful to get to spend the holiday season with family.
