So, Matt left this morning at 3:30 am for the Bahamas with UVA Women's Basketball for the Junkanoo Jam Thanksgiving Tournament....before he left though, he came up with a great idea for our date night....decorating the Christmas Tree!!!!
I spent the week putting up the tree, letting it breathe, then spacing out the branches, and finally adding multi-colored lights to it.
So, last night was date night and after Matt got home from work, we ordered Chinese and Matt got the ornament boxes out. Matt put on the first ornament and then we got to work. The quasi-finished tree looks AMAZING!!!!
I say quasi-finished because we still have a few more ornaments to put on the tree. One of Matt's family traditions were ornament sets. When he was growing up, his set was the Hallmark Snowman set, so every year the family got that year's ornament and now the whole set is Matt's. Once we add those, all of the ornaments will be on the tree and it will be complete!
One of the Wallace's family traditions is the annual "Welcome to the Holiday Season" gift given on Thanksgiving. This year Matt and I decided to open ours a little early since we won't be together on Thanksgiving. Matt and I loved our Welcome to the Holiday Season gifts!
Date Night....Welcome to Holiday Season was amazing....but now it is time for me to work, work, work, and Matt to work (albeit in the Bahamas) and hopefully he'll get to relax some too...and of course we both hope the Hoos come back as Junkanoo Champions!
