christmas tiiime is heeere

Well, maybe Christmas time has arrived. As far as the calendar is concerned, Christmas is two weeks away. Yet the Colorado weather begs to differ. It has been in the fifties all week. I was heading from an outreach event back to the office on Wednesday and had to unbutton my coat and STILL I was sweating. Nothing like the cold and snow I have been hearing about (and pining for) from my loved ones in the Midwest. Two weeks 'til I'm back in my beloved Ohio. Less than. Bring on the snow!

My roommate works with Archdiocesan Housing here in Denver, and found someone to donate a Christmas tree to us! At first it did not seem like we would be getting a tree so I was feeling quite Grinch-y, but we all came together and had maybe a little TOO much fun putting it up together J

Putting together the tree was pretty great, I won't lie. Made our house feel much more homey. But all that Christmas spirit definitely started going to our heads just a little bit… And maybe we got just a little bit silly…

And then we decided that everyone needed to practice for The Nutcracker!

We discovered that among all the ornaments and such were a whole lot of bows. So some of them ended up on the tree, and some of them ended up on us!

Angela and I took this as a golden opportunity ot look as much like one of the Whos as possible!

But noy only did all of the girls have hair long enough for the bows, so did the boys!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AT COHO!
