Early December 2015: Winter projects and preparing for the Christmas holidays

After all the traveling we did this year, we were happy to be home and to enjoy our alone time together with our favorite foods and our favorite TV shows and movies. We also tackled some big home projects in November and December.

Our pretty Christmas tree down in the living room, and the number
of stockings above the computer alcove keeps growing

I added red berry lights to the white twinkly lights above the bookcase

 December 5th-6ht: Mike and I attended the Multi-Stake Conference, which announced the formation of a brand new stake in our area: the Albuquerque NM North Stake. This was a BIG event for the Church in Albuquerque!

December 6th: We had the Dunlap's over for dinner after the conference
 They dressed for family photos, which Mike took in our backyard
