So it happened. For those of you that know, I've NEVER put up a Christmas tree my whole life on my own. (We had the artificial kind when I lived at home). Dan started taking me to the pumpkin patch for Halloween a few years ago and I loved it. This year, he took me to the Christmas Tree yard and we picked out our first tree together. It was fun and it was sweet...
The cats loved it. Like the love anything that is "new." I have been worried all along that they would climb it, knock it over, destroy it, whatever. But they just got under it, drank the water, and boxed the ornaments a bit. Otherwise they left it alone!
She hates me right now.
On DEC 13th we had the annual HaasHalladeIlmaNewmanBohm Family Christmas party at Amanda and Brian's home. It was SO much fun... (the families that have made this Xmas party a yearly tradition since Dan was a child)
The men belt out some Christmas songs...
Then the women... (I tried to fade into the backgroun... nobody needs to hear my singing voice, really)
It was so much fun and we enjoy every single person in these families so much. They are the "families" we chose for ourselves...
Brendon Newman, John Heilman and Dan the man
John was going around "aligning people's shakras." He's hilarious...
Another shakra-aligning technique...
Ashley and Brian singing the "Twelve Days of Christmas"
The whole group singing the "Twelve Days of Christmas"
The end of the night. I mean, the END. I do not remember this well. Amanda, I'm sorry if I was smothering you right here. What am I doing? Don't tell me...
Heather Heilman and I enjoy some tunes from Dano by the fire
Our hosts: Brian and Amanda Haas.
