Decorations!



Well...since our front room didnt have enough room to fit a normal size Christmas tree, we had to buy a baby tree!!! We had a lot of fun setting it up and getting it decorated, but I think the cats had more fun :) They kept jumping in it, chewing on the branches, and playing with the ornaments and lights. We have so many ornaments for our tree that we had to really pick and choose which ones we

wanted. So the top contenders were...the Texas A&M ornament, our graduations ornaments, our first Chrismas ornament, and of course snowmen (cause i love snowmen!!) There were some others, but these were the most important ones!!! The tree was so wimpy that when we put the angel on the top of our tree, it snapped the top!!! In the picture with Adam and I, you can see the ghetto tree top!!! Well at least we had a good time decorating it :)

The Nutcracker

Well the picture turned out pretty blurry...guess that is what happens when ushers attempt to take them!!! Last night Adam and I went to the Nutcracker ballet...all Adam's idea!!! I used to go with my mom when I was a little girl...and also got to perform in the Ballet Oklahoma Nutcracker!!! Needless to say...I love the Nutcracker. It has been so long since I've seen it. Adam has never seen it, he admits he didnt experience much culture when he was younger....at least not the arts side of culture. It was great to get out and do something together that we have never done. I'm sure going into it that it wasn't Adam's first choice, but it was sweet of him to set it up knowing how much I would enjoy it. Turns out we both enjoyed to perfomance and had a great time!

Schweitzer!!

This weekend was a blast!! Adam and I went to Sandpointe, ID to Schweitzer mountain to go skiing/boarding!! The snow was amazing. The mountain has gotten about 5 feet of snow....needless to say there was tons of powder. There were so many fun runs and it wasnt even crowded. I guess we are just used to the busy mountains up in Utah. We stayed in a "ski in- ski out" condo...what a sweet set up!!! After a day of skiing we soaked in the outdoor hot tub which was blazing hot. It felt so good though. Check out the trees at the summit, it looks like they got sprayed with white foam...you couldn't see any green!!! Well that was our fun weekend. We are excited for many more ski/board trips to come. We love it here :)
