Christmas

    Christmas was pretty fun this year.  I was a little worried how things would go because I had bronchitis weeks before Christmas.  Luckily I got better right before Christmas, but it did make me really behind on everything.  So instead of two trees we only had one and I did not get any Christmas goodies made that I wanted.  However, Christmas day was good and I had lots of fun.  Christmas Eve we spent the night with Jason's family and opened pajamas with them.  Christmas day my family came over and we had breakfast before we opened our presents.  Jason had the most presents to open because I bought him a bunch of stuff.  He is super spoiled.  I got him a bunch of blu rays that he wanted, a couple of daily calenders, socks, a dress shirt, a new pillow, and a helicopter which I think is his favorite present.  Jason got me some gift cards to Michaels, Joanns, Nordstroms, and a set of self-healing mats that I wanted for sewing.  I am excited about the Nordstroms gift card because I have found a pair of shoes that I want that I can get with it.  After opening presents I started on dinner and Jason went to play with his helicopter.  Almost everyone else took a nap or just talked.  After dinner we watched Muppets Christmas Carol, because we watch it every year, and then ate pie that my sister made.  After my family left Jason and I spent the rest of the night watching some of the new shows that we got.  It was just a really nice holiday week and pretty relaxing.  I am glad we got to spend time with everyone and that Jason and I got to spend some time just the two of us because it feel like we don't get to do that as much as we would like.  Jason enjoyed Christmas but he is glad that it is over because it ends his busy season at work.

Festival of trees

  I don't know what is going on with blogger I have been having a hard time getting pictures to upload so this post is long overdue.  (I am probably doing something wrong I am not the greatest with figuring out websites.)  A few weeks ago I went to the festival of trees with Jason's family.  I have never been before.  It was pretty fun.  I did not know that there were so many people that go, it was sort of crowded.  It was neat to see all the different trees and see all the care that people put into them.  It was also neat to go because Jason volunteers every year through UPS to deliver the trees after it is over, so I was able to see some of the trees that he helps deliver.  I will probably go again but maybe earlier in the day when it is not so crowded and also when I am not sick.  I probably would have had more fun if I was not sick.   Here are some of my favorite pictures. 

My neice did not want her picture taken.

Upside down ice cream tree.
This tree was made out of pop bottles.  Not something
I would buy but I thought the concept was neat.
I thought this would be Jason's favorite tree.
My little pony tree.  This was one of my neices favorite trees. 
It was super cute.
