Christmas Decorations

Well the house is all decorated for Christmas. We put evergreen garland up on Mom's balcony and an evergreen swag above the house numbers.
Mom decided not to have a tree upstairs this year. So instead we put up faux garland with lights so that she could still hang up her ornament collection.
I think it's even better than having a tree because this way you really get to see each ornament.


This is my white Xmas tree. (I decided on white because the pink one that I wanted was too expensive!)
Since there was going to be no tree upstairs, we decided to do Christmas downstairs at my place this time. This was the first time I put up a tree since we've been in the house.

Mom's little Christmas dinner party

Every December, mom and her friends from work have a little dinner party. They're kind enough to invite me too.
This year we made Soy Ginger Chicken. It's a Martha Stewart recipe.
It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself!
After dinner we play board games like Bananas, Yahtzee, and Oodles of Doodles.
It's always a fun time.
