It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Chris brought home our Christmas tree today. It is a large and magnificent Noble Fir! The aroma of fresh pine now fills the air. We are all very eager to decorate it. Tomorrow we will be putting up the ornaments. For now it is in its natural state, towering over all that is synthetic.

We continued our yearly tradition of visiting the Chino lights neighborhood. This year it appears that not all of the residents were interested in participating. However, we still enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, enjoying the view and taking pictures. We were overcome with a feeling of nostalgia. Most importantly , the kids really enjoyed themselves.
