it's the most wonderful time of the year

i love this time of year! matty and i bought our christmas tree last night and immediately started decorating it. it smells good, looks pretty and makes me smile every time i look at it. yesterday i put our christmas lights out on the porch while playing a carpenters christmas (best music for this time of year if you haven't heard it you must). very cozy.

if ya like it then ya shoulda put a ring on it

it is always fun hanging out with friends of your significant others.. but it is actually really fun when you become good friends with his friends wife. does that make sense? basically jamee and i have a blast together while dale (her husband) and matt engage in "guy love" simply meaning they are truly great friends. this last visit although later turning into a string of sickness (something has been going around, thankfully all are healthy and recovered) for most involved, the trip consisted of some very entertaining music videos we found online and then attempted to recreate the dances while still sitting comfortably on the couch.
