Last night was spent putting up additional decorations outside, and decorating our tree.
Yes, we have a Hanukkah tree. Yes, there is already a present under it. And YES, the present has also already been opened and played with for several days now.Brian decided at 9:30 that we needed more Christmas decorations. So, we headed off to Wal-Mart and stocked up.
I love our wreath! This picture does not do it justice!Last night while I was decorating the tree, I was reminiscing about where we got it. So here is our little Christmas tree story. On our second date, Brian took me with him to the store to pick out a tree and some decorations for his apartment. We kept laughing and joking that this was a married couples idea of a date, rather than a date for people who only knew each other less than a week. About the time that we thought of that, Brian ran into some friends and got to talking. Brian's friend asked us "so how long have you two been married?" and we just laughed some more. We went back to Brian's apartment and turned on some Christmas tunes and decorated the tree. When we finished, we sat down on the floor to admire our masterpiece. We joked about how this would make a great story to tell our kids one day, that we bought our Christmas tree on our second date. A few weeks later, Brian proposed. So now, we really can tell our Christmas tree story to our kids! (Wouldn't that have been awkward for you, Brian, if you would have had to explain that Christmas tree to some other girl if I didn't steal you off of the market!) Love ya hunny! Can't wait to spend more and more Christmas' with you!

your tree is beautiful!
Your house looks awesome with all the lights and I love your tree! Every time you share a "date" story with Brian I am totally smitten! You should write your own book and it would fly off the shelf faster than "Twilight". Really, how many people go on their first date and come up with their quote for their wedding announcement? Now, you've shared what happened on your second date and it's magical. Now, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to hear about your third date!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS! YOU ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!!!
That would have been very awkward for Brian to have to explain that so someone else. Good job catching him. But you know Mal, you a pretty good catch yourself.
Dude, Mallory, stop wishing for snow to come!! I'm totally loving a snowless winter!! Ya hoo! Bring on more sunshine! And I'm still laughing at your Christmas tree date story! Classic! I love it!
Awww... that's such a sweet story! I love hearing those kind of stories! And I can't blame you guys for already playing with the Christmas present. Rock Band Rules!!
