Another weekend flew by!
We finally got around to
decorating the Christmas tree, so that was quite fun. Every year, we try to buy something new to hang on the tree, and this time we found some cool
jingle bell reindeer ornaments. We also get the
Hallmark singing snowmen every year, but Hallmark decided to not have one this year.
We also watched
Stander,
Coraline and the latest episode of
The Good Wife, so it was quite a productive day.
