Well, today we decided to put the Christmas tree up...okay I decided I wanted to do it. I made it through with out completely knocking it over. I just tipped it a little. It now sits nicely in our living room. The BYU ornaments are ones that my roommate made and they happen to match perfectly with my already purchased tree decorations and they show off our BYU pride. I also put a picture of the sparkly balls that we have hanging on our tree. One of my old roommate's mom made them and
They are small and simple, but shiny and beautiful. They glisten in the light just a little. You just can't take your eyes off of them. Our heater kicks on and they swing a little and the tree lights make them sparkle. I wish that you were seeing and feeling what I am feeling right now. It is absolutely beautiful. I am sitting in solitude in my living room and just listening to the noises outside and thinking about Christmas and what it means. I am so grateful for my Savior and for the chance we have to celebrate His birth every year!

Hey! You went straight to Christmas and missed that post about Thanksgiving and how cool your cousins are! :) Love Ya!!!!
It looks great Karlie! I love sitting and watching the Christmas tree!
I agree with Ann and Heather. I too love just sitting and staring into the Christmas tree especially at night with all the lights out except for the tree. It is such a peaceful thing to do. As for Thanksgiving, I guess I was hoping for family pictures of the cousins and the meal etc. We had one of our more special but weird Thanksgivings ever this year as you know. Never order a "cooked meal" from the grocery store. Hee-hee. Hugs, mom
