Christmas!

We went to the second Sunday of Advent today. It was a really good service, especially because my mom and dad came and met us there. After church they came to see our new house. It was really nice to show it off and feel comfortable sitting around in our place. We ate cheese and almonds and sausage while drinking coffee and wine. We went through Sarah's wedding pictures and talked the whole time. For lunch, Dad had brought the leftovers of Sarah's Red Lentil Coconut Curry so we tried it with all sorts of different toppings (pears, sundried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes and tortillas) and rice. Eventually, probably too late, we left to go find a Christmas tree. Mom and probably should have left much earlier but this was the only time I could get it. They graciously drove all over creationg to find me a place that was open and sold them. We drove some neat roads and saw a deer watching us up close and finally ....ta da!!!
And now our place looks really festive.
It was such a good day. Thank you soooooo much, mom and dad. I'm so happy you came!

Mom and I truly enjoyed ourselves on Sunday. You have a very comfortable cozy home. Driving around getting the tree was what we over here call " a moment " A space in time with significance that leaves lasting memories.

ditto! We'll have to do it again!
You have motivated me to decorate our tree. I'm glad it snowed the black mounds were hard to avoid.
