Decking the halls

decorating the Christmas Tree
Maria was a huge help with decorating the house and getting out all our Christmas boxes. I couldn't believe how efficient we were – she and I set up the nativity set and decorated the Christmas tree in just a few hours. And it was so fun! We were still a bit loopy from getting up at 4 am to shop the Black Friday sales ... but that just made it all the more fun.
Christmas Tree decorated 2008
Our tree has primarily "tropical" ornaments, plus some other special ones mixed in. We have a little tradition of buying ornaments when we go on vacation.

an intense game of Monopoly
Also over the weekend, we played a couple highly competitive games of Monopoly (one of my personal favorites!). It was a blast.
