Better Late Than Never!!

Karthik and I started to decorate our tree on Sunday (which was donated by my beautiful sister Amity), only to run into a few snags. We couldn't get the lights on the tree to work so I went on Monday to buy replacements. When I first checked the lights it looked like only four lights were out. (I bought the kind that the whole string does not go out if one does not work). After I hung about three quarters of the string of lights, I noticed it was more like 1 in 4 didn't work! Once I got the lights up, I waited for Karthik to come home so we could do the rest together. We put up tinsel, ribbon, and candy canes. To my benefit he didn't realize that you eat the candy canes; he said that if he would have known that we would have gotten something else to decorate the tree with!! We opened the box of glass balls to put on the tree only do discover it was missing the hooks!! I told Karthik we would have to wait until I felt brave enough to fight the crowds again to buy hooks. The next day yours truly had an epiphany!!! I thought why not take the left over tinsel and hook that around the balls!!! I know pure genius!! We were not able to decorate the bottom on the tree because of a certain dog whom I will not name...
Over all I think the tree looks pretty good...though you really can't tell from the pictures...


Henna kept me company while I finished the tree, while others hid under the bed....

Galveston!

Karthik and I went to Galveston on Sunday. Though it was VERY cold, we had a great time. The dogs were running everywhere. To our surprise Henna kept running in the water! We ate at the Rain Forest Cafe. They had a pretty cool atmosphere but to be honest their food is not worth the price. After we ate we visited Melissa. We didn't really get to stay very long because Karthik had a test to study for :( What a party pooper! ;) In all we had a really great time!
