Let me tell you about last Saturday, because it was a wonderful day. The day began with me waking before Thomas. That is a rarity - it has only happened once before in our relationship. So since I was up before him, I made him breakfast in bed. It wasn’t anything special; I’m not real awake early in the morning. I made him toast with peanut butter, orange slices, and hot chocolate. After eating, we watched the birds out the window and snuggled with Clover - nice to have time to just relax.

After we got up, we headed out to get a Christmas tree. Of course we had to take the bus… :) We went to Pike’s Nursery, picked out our tree, and loaded it up on top. We decided that we needed a photo of the tree on top, so we made a quick detour to the heart of our little town and took some photos in front of the decorated storefronts. Santa even drove by in a horse drawn carriage. The photos didn’t come out as I had hoped, mostly because there were so many other cars around, but Thomas got a great shot of me driving down our street.

That afternoon, we went to a boardgame party, but I have enough pictures from that to be another post. Until then, the rest of the photos from Saturday morning are on Thomas’ Picasa site.
