After Dinner....
Our first Christmas tree!!!!
We had several plans for this holiday. We ended up staying home and making our own dinner. We thought it would be fun, and it was. We spent most of the day doing it. That will tell you a little bit about our cooking abilities and speed... We went for ham since none of us are a fan of turkey and also we wanted to break with the tradition... We invited a friend, but she couldn't make it, so it was just us. It was very nice and we enjoyed our meal. We stuffed ourselves with all the "delicatessen" we cooked.
The day before, we putted together our Christmas tree and a few other ornaments to our apartment. It was very exciting... Now it feels like Christmas!
Mmmmm! YummyUp until Friday, Felipe had been successful at staying away from the system (day after Thanksgiving shopping madness) but he finally succumbed to the market (with a lot of help from Brandi) and we got up at 5AM on a holiday (sounds sinful!) to go shopping. By 9AM we were done with what we wanted, with Brandi exclaiming unceasingly: That was so exciting! Felipe saved his comments for himself. We returned half of the things we bought for either malfunctioning or just because we realized we didn't really want or need them. Now we are back in the real world, but we really enjoyed the break. We slept inn, whatched tons of movies and had lots of fun.
