December Already

 It is hard to believe that it is December already. A lot of time has passed since the last time we did a post. We are excited for our first Christmas together as a married couple. We have our first tree and get to play the game of which family at which time. Our first tree is nice. We thank Target and Dad Andreasen for that. Just a side note for everyone, if you are going to put a tree on top of a car be sure to wear eye protection, pine needles stuck in the eyes hurt really bad. When we got our tree home we put it into the stand that Dad Poulsen gave to us. It sat that way for a while until I decided to put the lights on, we ended up not having enough and had to make a run to Target once again. After the lig
hts came the ornaments, after a few day delay. Now we have a fully decorated Christmas Tree.


This is our tree and here are a few more pictures of us with our tree....
 
We like having the tree in our home and all the Christmas spirit it brings, not to mention the nice Pine Tree Air Freshener we have in our home. We hope everyone else likes it too.


We got to go to Disneyland on Friday and had a lot of fun 
looking at all the Christmas decorations and w
atching the fireworks. Here we are in front of a nice tree at Disneyland. It was pretty crowded at Disneyland with it being a Friday and being Christmas time. We got to go on a lot of rides and the lines weren't too bad. We had fun on the new Toy Story Mania ride but we won't get into who had the higher score. Mr. Potato Head did talk to us. He tried to get my attention then when I didn't look at him he called me a "hockey puck" and told us our wait time was going to be 30 to 40 minutes. Once we finished at California Adventure we headed over to Disneyl
and and waited in one of the longest lines of the day just to get into the park. It moved fast and we headed into the park. We started to get tired of the crowds and decided we wanted to do a little shopping and then hit the road. We started looking through the shops hoping to find a cute holiday decoration for our house. We saw a few things that we liked but nothing really jumped out at us. We were leaving one store and Kori said "Why don't they have anything cute....LIKE THAT!!!!" She saw some Jingle Bell Mickey and Minnie Tree ornaments. We rushed back into the store and looked all over 
but couldn't find them. We asked a really nice lady who worked there if she knew where they were and she helped us look around a little before she told us that it looked like they were out but we should try across the street. We eagerly 
went across the street hoping for some better luck. We saw all kinds of ornaments but not the ones we were looking for. Then we spotted them, we had just gone in the wrong door. We went up and grabbed some before we continued to shop. Once we were done we bought the few ornaments we had selected and headed outside just in time to catch the firework show and the Snow on Main Street.
We watched the fireworks and decided that we were tired so we headed home for some needed sleep.
