It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

One week until Christmas! It's weird, but I don't really feel like it's the holiday season. I don't know if it is because we are in a new place and I don't know how to get into the spirit here. I feel rather disappointed that I am not more excited and jolly. We have done plenty of Christmasy things this past month.

On December 8th we went into the city and saw the grand tree of all trees at Rockefeller Center.

So cute:)

One day I will ice skate here.

We can tell my hair has had about enough

Kickin it in Grand Central Station

And of course it wouldn't have been fun w/out our friends the Stokes and the crew from The Office!

I guess I just really need to remember the reason for the season. We attended a well done Christmas Pageant on Saturday put on by our ward. This week is full of festivities and work parties! Matt and I get to go to my home for Christmas this year and I am so excited! I love being home for the holidays. That is really what it is all about!

Ok this picture has nothing to do with Christmas but it is hilarious! Matt sporting a mullet at our ward Halloween party.

Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful

It is 3:00pm and I am at home wrapped in a blanket w/ the TV on. Yes that is right, I am home on a weekday at 3pm! Only because the weather is so very frightful. It is raining ice outside so they had everyone leave work early. So cold! It took me 30 minutes to get home while normally it takes 15 minutes. Not too bad. I am beginning to remember why I dislike Winter so much. Next stop after CT is somewhere warm w/ a no snow policy!

Lovely Ladies

Les Mis was well.....interesting. No, really we enjoyed it but we could have done without some of the gestures during "Lovely Ladies" and "Master of the House." On the other hand, we appreciated the uplifting messages found in this timeless musical. For example don't steal bread in France and you can blame anything on a prostitute. The music was great and the performers did a wonderful job.
We also went with our friends to see the great dying Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center. Did you know that its LED lights are powered entirely by solar panels? It's the first "green" Christmas tree. hehe. I'm sure Al Gore is proud.
