Christmas Traditions

QT and I started our own little Christmas tradition the year we got married. For reasons I won't get into now (but that many of you may remember anyway), we were displaced from our house our first Christmas together as a married couple. Since we were "living" in an extended-stay hotel at the time, we had limited space to decorate that Christmas so we bought ONE ornament to symbolize something special to us about that year. That year, we bought a cute, little angel ornament.

The year we moved to Denver, we bought an ornament of a snow family (below) because it was cold when we arrived, and it was Christmas Eve.
This year, we took Pumpkin to the Parade of Lights in downtown Denver. We love parades, and it was really cool to see the bands and floats and everything else blazing with Christmas lights. Unfortunately for us, it was cold that night, and we were mostly standing still during the parade so we were freezing our butts off out there!



A nice passerby snapped this photo of us during the parade. It was so like our 2005 Christmas ornament that I just had to laugh. It's funny how life sometimes imitates art, isn't it?
