In the dorm we used to wait until Valentines Day to take down our Christmas card door.  Our kiddos didn’t come back from vacation until around then.  It was nice to have them see their cards hanging up.  But now that we are in the “real world” it started to seem like overkill.  We already posted pictures of our Christmas tree, but wanted to post pictures of our Christmas card door (and wall) before clearing it for the new year.  Another change from living in the dorm is that we hang all the cards and letters on the INSIDE of the door instead of decorating the outside of our door and hallway.  While that was kosher in the dorm, it might be a little weird for our neighbors here!

We got over a foot of snow & the icicles got big.

More pics after the jump.

Our Tree!

And that’s not showing the ones we already used for the preseason game & practice!

Pizza with Chevre goat cheese, artichoke hearts, olives and lots of spinach.

This goes under “more proof the Oven/Stovetop/Kitchen-in-General works”.  We made chipotle sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast.

Kitties’ first time outside since their rescues – 7 years ago for Magellan and 6 years ago for Manhattan.  They wore harnesses and leashes on our roofdeck.  They like it! (The pictures are a little “night-vision-y” due to the camera phone, night time, no flash combo.)

Wall holes were patched and painted. Trim holes have been patched. Towel rods finally hung (woohoo!). Some caulking done. Some pictures hung. And you can now walk around the bedroom.

Not done. But the bed is made and furniture in a new place… But we may not still love it. Definitely better than it was though. And there is now room to walk around!

Making the bed led to finally trying another arrangement of furniture in the bedroom. These are some “before” shots (well the bed has already been moved).
