Last night, after we unpacked our car from the trip to Abilene, I went to the store to get supplies for tonight. After returning home from that zoo, we ate dinner and were trying to decide what movie to watch. As we plugged in the movie, David decided that it was time to try out our new fireplace! He turned the key, lit the fire and ta daa! We had a nice fire in our fireplace.
I had surprised David with a copy of A Muppet's Christmas Carol, which I found at Kroger whilst looking for relish tray items. We chose that as the movie to watch, and curled up on the couch, in front of our roaring fire, to watch the movie. After that one, we watched Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, another Jim Henson classic. It was a very Christmas-y end to a fun weekend!

Date Night!
Friday night, David and I did dinner and a movie! Dinner was at Double Dave's pizza buffet. It had been awhile since we'd eaten there, and I really enjoyed it! We then braved the crowd at the mall to get to the movie theater.
I had chosen the movie Enchanted, we made it just as the previews were starting! We saw some previews that looked promising as well. The movie itself was great! It was Disney making fun of itself. I loved the characters and the storyline was really good. I was also pleased to see Idina Menzel in the film, she originated the role of Elphaba in the musical Wicked. She didn't sing in the movie, though.
It was definitely a Dezi movie, and we left the theatre feeling good. We also ran into our old neighbors, it was neat to see them as well! After the movie, David went to the sporting goods store to get some stuff, while I went to Barnes & Noble. After shopping, we went home. It was a really fun night, and also good to take time just for each other.

Preparing for Christmas!
Our Advent wreath!
Our tree-in-progress!
We have started our Christmas decorating! After our exciting trip to Garden Ridge, we opened up the tree stuff on Saturday! We got the tree set up and moved into the dining room. I put the tree skirt on and we were both very glad that we picked a pre-lit tree!
Mom is making us a wreath for the door, and we are in the process of putting up our outside decorations. I also bought an Advent wreath for our house, and we lit the first candle yesterday. I am excited about bringing that tradition into our family!
I opened up the ornament box this evening and found that all those beautiful ornaments did not come with hooks to put them on the tree. Oh well. I'll pick up a box of paper clips tomorrow. We were able to put up our Luke and Leia ornaments, as well as a couple of ornaments that we already had. We also put up the garlands as well as the star on the top!
I'll have more decoration updates as they come!
