Greenery

I spent this past Sunday at my best friend, Janine's place. We did a lot of decorating for Christmas and lot of lounging around the house. We started the day with a quick trip to Home Depot to grab a wreath and a few decorations.

They had so many cute baskets of decor I didn't know what to do! I really want something decorative for my home but I think I'll stick to the fake stuff since I have a terrible fear of bugs and don't really enjoy the smell of pine.

When we got back home I helped decorate the bottom half of the screen door to make it look like a present (and then I helped Janine eat her advent chocolate because I'm an awesome friend.)

And of course I helped (a little) with the tree!

My favorite ornament of theirs is this little violin with sheet music attached. I used to spend lots of Christmases with Janine and her family especially when my mom was out of the country. I would go with them to Midnight Mass and bring my presents over to open with them on Christmas Eve (Hooray for awesome German traditions!)

It made me feel really nostalgic.
