This year, we decided to kick start a little holiday spirit with a field trip over to Reston for their annual Christmas parade. We met a some friends there ... these ones, and these ones to name a few... It was a wee bit chilly and it started raining right before Santa's big appearance (an hour and half into the parade, my butt was completely numb from curb sitting by that point). But a great way to catapult into holiday mode nonetheless.
Later in the day, we went to the local Christmas tree farm, otherwise known as Home Depot, in search of the tree. See, I love Fraser Fir and they just don't grow at any of the low elevations in Virginia. I love the smell, and the needles are soft so you don't end up bloody while trimming the tree. So we have to buy a pre-cut tree at the Depot. One benefit of this is that we probably won't find any live creatures living inside of it.
And now I'm looking at this picture, thinking I need to ask Santa to bring me for some Windex for my mantel mirror.
Andrew spent a large part of his weekend on the roof tacking lights to the house, stringing garland and using a fishing pole to hang lights on our giant pine tree in the front yard. Its looking pretty festive around here, and its not even the first of December.
