Since getting back from Orlando we have been super busy! I've made numerous trips to my place to get things so that the boys and I can be at Brad's place comfortably before we officially pack up my apartment. I think the boys have clued in somewhat!
On Saturday night we were anxious to find a Christmas tree. We went around to a few places with no luck, as they were sold out. Unlike Phx, Dallas doesn't have a Christmas tree
lot every mile or so. We get trees at Home Depot, Lowe's or a grocery store. And also unlike Phx, they order only what they believe they can sell....no surplus! That's not just for trees! I've certainly learned since moving here....buy it when you see it!
So we got the tree Saturday night but we didn't get it in place and ready to decorate til Sunday. After the Cowboys game I headed off to the grocery store to do the Christmas Eve grocery shopping while Brad decorated the tree. He saved a few select ornaments that he knows I truly love for me to put on the tree. Sunday night I baked until 2 in the morning. I baked a pecan pie, a chocolate cake, and 4 mini coffee cakes.
We hosted Christmas Eve late in the afternoon. It all went well! Dinner turned out great! And a good time was had by all! The only small issue was no water for part of the evening due to a main water line in the complex needing immediate attention. Water finally came back on so I just barely finished the dishes. I should say we just finished the dishes. Brad helped, we make a good team. Us hosting Christmas Eve would have been extremely difficult if it wasn't for our great teamwork! Even while the water was off we had teamwork as we held a
water bottle pouring water on each others hands while we washed up. Lol! It kind of felt like we were camping.
