Exactly One Year Ago

We were taking pictures for our Christmas cards. Remember this one? Just cropped a bit:
Today we got out all of our Christmas decorations so we could decide what we need to buy to make our house look festive yet not crowded as we already don't have enough room for our stuff for the holidays. Usually we're not around for the holidays so we don't bother with too much decorating. This year, however, is the first year that we will not be going to ND since Dennis and I were married. (I'm actually looking forward to this. Yes, we'll miss our families greatly, but traveling with two little ones it just plain ol' stressful. So, I'm excited to start some new family traditions and have two well-rested and happy kids, which in turn makes for two happy and well-rested parents.) So, we're going to buy a real-live Christmas tree and go crazy with the tree decorations. It turns out that we have a lot of really old decorations that came from my mom that were old when I was little, five strings of lights, but only one that works, lots of breakable stuff and 4 stockings. It looks like I need to hit some sales before we buy our tree next weekend.
