Decorating for Christmas

Even though this will be our second Christmas together, it's our first Christmas that we'll spend together at our house. So we were excited to decorate and really get into the spirit. Traditionally in my family, the Christmas stuff (including the tree) comes out the day after Thanksgiving. Because of schedules and Ben & Tasha's wedding over Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to decorate a bit before that so that we could take full advantage of the festive trimmings the entire month of December. We were happy to have a weekend with good weather so that Bryan could also put up the outdoor lights. Here are a few photos of the finished product.

First Anniversary Cake

We got the top tier of our wedding cake from Bryan's parents just a little bit late for our first anniversary, but we still had fun eating it! It was surprisingly tasty after a year and two months in the freezer.

Bryan took the opportunity to smear the cake in my face...an urge he had resisted more than a year before, when he promised me that he wouldn't do it at our wedding. Good man. Here are a few pics from the occasion.
