Tis the Season

I changed up the Christmas tree design this year with shades of teal, green and gold with a few birds thrown in. I liked the effect. Jack chose the blue LED lights that are hung/wrapped around the balcony slats.

We had a really nice, simple Christmas this year made even better by the presence of my mom and brother Nate. That's the most family for Christmas than I've had in 8 years! Seriously, when you and your spouse are nurses, your holiday plans are shot until you retire. This year I was happily on maternity leave and Mom was here to help. It just happened to fall on Christmas!
