So, being the newlyweds that we are, we wanted to get a tree but thought that with our little place and the fact that we wanted to save money we got our first little Christmas tree. Yay for cheap trees at Home Depot! It pretty much has all my ornaments on it from when I was little and throughout the years (of course, including Ohio State ornaments along with all my Coca Cola collections. Jeff has none but I think he's ok with it.
We got our little tree following our time in Arizona with the fam. We got to see both the Haidet"s and the Cowell's living in the beautiful state of Arizona. It was a great time...the Haidet clan got to go to the "North Pole" via the Polar Express. We got to sing Christmas carols, eat cookies and drink hot chocolate while Santa got on board and gave each child a bell from his sleigh. All of this was in Flagstaff, so needless to say it was cold, rainy, windy and snowy (you can see Kristine outside in the snow)...which all made for a "wonderful" drive home.
Ashlee and I did a little bit of Christmas shopping followed up by my yummy dinner and birthday cake and awesome Buckeye scarf made with love from Ashlee. Thanks Ashlee! The kids got to open up our Christmas gifts to them simply because there's nothing like seeing there faces light up when they open there gifts. I hate to miss that so I'm glad I got to see that this year (even though it wasn't officially Christmas). All in all, Jeff and I had a great time with family and always love to visit.
