Our Holiday

I really don't have much to say right now. Things have been as 'back to normal' as they ever get for us. I've been back to school and getting ready for our Christmas concert this Monday and Duane has been back at work. We are anxiously counting down to the honeymoon and looking forward to the warm weather. Only 7 more days of school until vacation and 2009. How neat is it that we'll be able to spend New Year's Eve on a cruise ship somewhere between Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios!?! So anyway, I thought since I had nothing else to share, I'd share a couple of holiday pictures from the Brownlee household. These are the only ones I got before the battery died...but...oh well. Enjoy this simple little addition to our blog!



This is our tree that Duane put up as a surprise when I was at school. We didn't have one last year so I was really excited. Brandi helped me decorate it...we didn't have much to put on it yet but with the lights it looks pretty. I also think it looks nice with all the gifts for our family underneath (although I had to put Brandi's stuff in her sock instead of wrapped, she likes to sniff around to see what's for her!)



This picture was taken last year at one of the pet supply stores. The profits went to the animal shelter. Brandi was a hit with Santa and even lent her reindeer antlers to a Newfie that was waiting for his picture. How cute! We would have gone again this year, but I didn't hear it advertised...I guess I'll aim to replace batteries in the camera and get pictures of her frolicking in the snow. She's really good at that!



Anyway, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas. I'll try and post again soon...as soon as I have something fun to say!
