home sweet home

Friday evening Nelson and I finally made it back to Sierra Vista. We both were glad to be home and sleep in our own beds...

...well, Nelson's bed is portable so he didn't really care.... but he sure liked the bed in one hotel:



That night (Wednesday/Thursday) we stayed in Winnie, TX. When I took Nelson out before it was time for bed we both were surprised by SNOW!!!!!



It felt and smelled great. Man, I miss the snow!!!!!!

Back home I immediately started to decorate!!!!! One of my favorite things to do around Christmas. During our travels my Mom and I picked up some pine cones and other seed- containing dry pieces of plants. I spray- painted them silver and gold.





I also did my present wrapping for my family in Germany!!!



It didn't look that nice when I had to squeeze all the gifts into priority mail boxes or wrap them in brown packing paper because they didn't fit into the boxes. Well- last year the presents were all squished from being in the suitcases -> something different every year! I just hope they make it in time.

The tree still has to wait to be put up. In Germany we usually decorate our tree on the 24th!!! Maybe this year I can't wait and put it up on the 20th when Eric comes home!!!! I just enjoy all the festive glitter and atmoshere so much!!!!

Merry pre- Christmas time to all of you!!!!!
