Christmas time is upon us

This weekend was pretty legit. We had so much fun, did a lot of work, and were really frustrated. 
What happened was Jared, Alex, and Amber decided to ditch us and go up to Nantou for the weekend to watch Phantom of the Opera and hang out. Aaron, Julia and were kinda bored on Saturday so we were just hanging out and didn't really have anything to do.
About 12:00 we decided that we should decorate for Christmas and by doing that we would kinda clean up the house. We set up the tree and looked really lame, with much thought and consideration we decided we needed to help it.

We rode our bikes to our little store and bought some supplies and decided to do some things. It was awesome! We had a lot of fun decorating and making things to go in the house and everything. Kyle and Camellia were in the kitchen (which is connected to the living room), we told them we wanted it to be a surprise for them, but they didn't want to leave. So worse came to worse and we had to do that horrible thing and put up a sheet in-between the kitchen and the living room. 
The next problem was they could hear us and figure out what we were saying with only a sheet up. That didn't stop us though, code words came into play. We're sitting there talking about chimey-changas, dinosaurs, and poking the pig while we're decorating for Christmas. 
By the time we were done it was 10:00 at night. Saturday seemed like it went by so fast and so slow, it seemed so productive but the finished product did NOT seem like it was worth 10 hours of our life. It's alright though cause now our house is pretty. 
Now you can see what it looks like.....

We were pretty pleased with the final project. It took so long because Julia and I hand sewed those stockings...all 8 of them. I realized that this was my third year in a row to make stockings, I think I'm an expert now, just kidding. It took a long time too cause Aaron made the fireplace out of paper. He came up with the design, drew it, cut it out and glue it all by himself. The fireplace is so super amazing! 
See the bear in that picture? That's the 9th member of our team, her name is Sally. She's a great member! We all love her to tears. 

You remember that fall tree we made? Well, keep tune for the winter rendition of it.
We made all this stuff then I realized it’s not even winter yet. It’s getting cooler here though; it’s so nice outside! The weather is cool with a breeze.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
