Jeff and I went to a local tree farm and searched for the perfect Christmas tree. Jeff was on a mission to find the biggest tree in the whole place. This one was definitely one of the biggest, but a little TOO big for our apartment.
I found some favorites too, but mostly I just wanted to pick one and get out of the COLD!
And... we finally found the perfect one! Here it is set up in our living room with the lights! It was just right!
Our tree was mostly gold and black... a Mizzou theme.
One more ornament as we decorated the tree!
We also got to attend Jeff's company's Christmas party! We had a lot of fun and got to dress up (which of course is not so fond of, but he cleans up pretty good, doesn't he?) We also went to my company's Christmas party the next weekend, but we were dressed almost exactly the same, so we didn't take a picture.)
We had a great Christmas in St. Louis with family. Since we don't have actual family in Kansas City, it's always nice to be able to spend time in Fulton or St. Louis. We had to induct Jeff into one of our family's traditions, since he too has a December birthday! Every year, my aunt has a birthday cake for Jesus, where she also includes my cousin Laura and my brother John, who both have December birthdays. This year was no different, and it also included Jeff's name (his birthday was December 18th!)
We headed out to St. Louis, just as it began to ice and snow in Kansas City. While we were gone they got about 7 inches of snow, so we still had snow when we got back (but the roads were at least cleaned off by that point!) Hope you had a great Christmas with your friends and family!
Until next time from Kansas,
Jeff and Em
