December
We celebrated Christmas in our new house! This is technically our second Christmas in our house, but we didn't get to decorate for our first Christmas since we got in late on Christmas eve. We were still living in MD and we were only in town for the weekend of Christmas. We did put stockings and a few small decorations up, but we didn't have a Christmas tree or lights. This year, we got a real tree for the first time and put out a lot more decorations than last year. It's still a work in progress and we hope to have more decorations next year.

We got the week between Christmas and New Years off and it FLEW by.
