Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree.....



So living in a 750 square foot apartment makes having a live tree of any size very interesting! Brian had to do quite a bit of modification to make this baby fit. Looks great though, huh? Peanut loves it. After all those years of a fake tree (sorry mommy) he thinks having the outside indoors is pretty fabulous. I think he really believes he is incognito in the branches! Because the apartment is so small the tree makes every inch very fragrant. We aren't even close to having the festive feel of back home in the Boro but we will build our collection as we go and start new traditions. We can't wait to see all of you for Christmas, but be patient with us because it will be a whirlwind 3 days!

Thanksgiving 2006



Our first Thanksgiving together was pretty great! We stayed in and made quite the spread. Brian made the turkey (including pulling out the guts...what a man! see above), and the pie and I made the rest. We stayed in comfy clothes and watched football. It was all very low key and low stress which we both needed for a change! Peanut eyed the food, got his own plate of turkey and then fell into tryptophan slumber!
