Christmas Season Has Begun!

This weekend marked the beginning of the Christmas season for us in more ways than one. We purchased our big family present, went to a Christmas parade and tree lighting and cut our Christmas tree.
Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful and mellow with Kyme's dad on Thursday evening. There was cooking all day and the house was warm and full of the smells of Thanksgiving, the sounds of football and the luxury of relaxation.

On Friday we woke up a little earlier than usual for us on a weekend to actually head out shopping on Black Friday, and headed to RC Willey to purchase our new TV at a great price. It's a 46" Samsung and it's purty.

After that we went to cut our little Christmas tree at Victory Tree farm which is actually a small residential lot very near our home, owned by a sweet older woman named Irene. We picked out our cute little tree and they cut it for us right then. We decorated it as soon as we arrived home, making our house very festive and ready for the holidays.

Saturday we went to the Christmas parade downtown with some friends. The parade was so-so (too many cars, not enough marching bands and definitely not enough candy canes handed out!), but it was nice to be out with friends. Kyme went out geocaching afterwards with the whole group and then to the tree lighting and caroling in the grove downtown. That evening we watched a movie in our new living room cinema! :D

We took Sunday to finish up a few chores around the house and relax before starting the work week :( We look forward to having our holidays at home! No snow yet, but it will most likely start in the next week or so. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, we miss you all!
