Christmas and Audrey Hepburn

What a good weekend. On Friday Adam and I got all of our Christmas stuff out of the shed and put up our tree. We didn't decorate it, we just put it up. It was beautiful. I love Christmas trees, with or without decorations-there's just something about them that I find cozy and warm. I've yet to see one I didn't love. Everyone decorates them differently, I love that. Once we got it up, we cozied up on the couch (with the Christmas tree lights on, of course) and watched Roman Holiday, probably my favorite Audrey Hepburn movie ever. Adam liked it too, I think-the parts he was awake for anyway. Saturday morning we woke up and waited for my parents to come over. We made a huge breakfast (it was lunchtime, but whatever) and began to Christmasify our house. My mom is amazing at all things decorating, and she helped me with my tree and mantle. (A few weeks ago, my dad built us this amazing mantle, he's a genius.) Anway, so we decorated for several hours while listening to lovely Christmas music to get us in the Christmas spirit, not that I needed music to get there. I love Christmas. Everything about it is wonderful, everything is magical. The guys went out to get lights for the outside, while the girls took care of the inside. Way to go guys, and Gidget, the lights look awesome. Sunday, we went over to my parent's house to return the favor. We helped get their stuff out of the attic. It only took about 25 minutes, record time I think. My parent's house is a winter wonderland at Christmas time. Its amazing. After all our hard work, my mom made a delicious dinner- hot dogs and krinkle fries. Yummy! Then we go to work on their tree. It looks gorgeous. Yay for Christmas trees!

Oh, and I didn't forget about Thanksgiving, I am thankful for Christmas.

Here are a few pics of my tree and mantle :
