Christmas Preparations

The weekend after Thanksgiving we went for the tree and had a great weekend preparing for the holiday season.

First was getting the tree in and standing up straight. It took a bit, but Gera and Federico (a good friend) got it looking good.
Then the lights...
...unpacking the ornaments, Elena had fun with that...

...putting them on...


...and the final touch, the star...

Afterwards there was time for fun and games with Fer and Nancy.

It was also the weekend to decorate Christmas cookies.
Our friends Jota and Lydia helped out as well.
These were the winners of the decorating contest.

We also got permission to cut down the palm tree in our front garden. Now the sunlight comes in the front window really nice.
