Christmas

Lots of new pictures of Christmas Eve, Day, and the day after. We had a great time. Christmas Eve went to Wingert's church to see him sing. Day we all got great gifts. For dinner Patrick and his mom came over for dinner. We had mexican outside. (It was 80 degrees on the 25th). Boxing day Wingert came over to make brittle and nog. We capped the weekend off with a trip to Winterhaven to see the lights.

Christmas Party 2005

The last Tucson Christmas Part was fun. It wasn't quite the same without Chris. Not a single person danced and no shots were done. Oh well. There are pictures.

Getting a Tree

As many know we got our cat Tanner one year on the way to get a Christmas tree. This year was not that exciting or eventful. But it took nearly as long. We went to 3 tree places. We left the first because it was not as cheap as we thought and the only tree they had that I liked was 9 feet and $145. So we decide to go with tradititon and return to our normal place. Amos & Andy. They also have the nordmun which is the type of tree we get here in Tucson. Problem was they had no Nordmuns. So we went to a different location and met Brian or the Amos & Any group. (Staci can explain in the comments). They have lots of Nordmuns but most are still tied up. We ask Amos to untie one that I think will look good. It does however its 10 feet. We figure what the hell its our last year with huge ceilings. So 2 hours after leaving the 9 foot $145 tree we drive to the La Indita's with a 10 foot and too much to repeat tree on the Saab. Pictures of the decorating.

November 2005

November saw 4 nice visitors. First Chuck & Pape came. It was great to see them. Only stress was trying to get Pape back into the U.S. after a trip to Mexico. Next Staci's parents came for Thanksigiving. It was very nice to see them. We had Thanksgiving dinner outside with them just like our first Thanksgiving in Tucson. Check out the pictures here.
