Merry Kissamoose!

Eddie, Pearl and I decided to decorate our patio for the first time. My favorite Christmas lights are the big snowflakes so we bought a pack of those and some colorful lights to add some pizzaz! We went to check it out...

 and this is how it turned out:

The following day Ed, Courtney, Isaac, Baby Grace and I went to Stu Miller's to pick out our Christmas tree. We walked around and chose the one that we thought looked the most "lively" and ended up with this 6 foot beauty:

Naturally, once we chose our tree Ed could not resist his opportunity to haggle on the price... he got them to remove the tax and make it $50 even. If there were a business for haggling he'd be the CEO. Seriosuly, this kids ridiculous! After we paid for the tree they tied that bad boy to my roof and we were off. When we got home we put on some music and started to decorate the tree. I must say a real tree is appealing and all, but the lights are a real pain in the ass!! After Court and I put up all the ornaments it was totally worth the aches and pains because it turned out PERFECT:

MY FAVORITE ORNAMENTS:

ONE:

Merry Christmas From Heaven

When my grandma Betty passed away the funeral home sent this ornament to my grandpa Wayne for Christmas that year. When he passed away my dad kept it and later gave it to me when I moved out on my own. Since I've had it I've been putting it at the very top of the tree and it reminds me of my grandparents and it is very important to me.



 TWO:

Happily Ever After

This ornament was given to Eddie and I on our wedding day from his family in Arizona. It says, "Eddie & Kelli May 21, 2010 Happily Ever After". This is an ornament that I will kept and cherish forever. Such a great wedding gift!

THREE:

Merry Kissamoose!

This ornament was my Grandma Sophie's and she gave it to me many, many years ago. It's shirt says, "Merry Kissamoose!" I tied it on one of Eddie's Christmas gifts and gave it to him when I was 16 (our first Christmas together). It's a good thing we're married because I'd have to fight him to get my moose back! ;)

Hooray for Christmas and GO STEELERS!!
