THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: It's the Christmas season.

Now that we have our Christmas tree and our decorations up...

It is officially the start of the Christmas season.

Sorry for holding everyone up... but we moved as fast as we could....

I have a slightly sappy story to tell.

This is MY baby Christmas ornament.

My birthday is the day after Christmas... and

this is an ornament that has been up on my tree since...

Isn't she cute, holding the boots so close to her body???

Below is Dennis' baby ornament!

This ornament has been on his tree since he was a small boy. .

Anyone notice any similarities between the two photos???
Yep! You guessed it: We both have boots in them.
Whenever I am unsure if Dennis is my soul mate, I think about these ornaments..
(Just Kidding.. but it sure does make Christmas special when we pull these neat ornaments out each year)
We love Christmas... I love it for traditions and sweet things we do each year.
Some other "traditions" we have:

Dennis gets me an ornament each year.
This is labeled Christmas 2007 (last year) He got me a toaster because
it was the year that I started to really cook...


This is the first married year married ornament. I think that my mom
got me this one....
The year before the toaster, I recieved this one on Christmas Day (2006)
Of course we have some mistletoe up every year...
Can't have Christmas without that...

This is my table this year. I really love it.

I have enjoyed decorating. .

now it's shopping...

Hmm...
