Today was the first day that our church moved from 9:30 to 10:00AM. We got to sleep in an extra half hour.
After church we went downtown, dressed in our church finery, and met Randy and Karen for Bloody Mary's. After a nice B.M., we went to examine this years version of Christmas Tree Elegance at the Davenport Hotel. It's a fund raising event for the Spokane Symphony where you buy a bunch of tickets (25 for $25) and place your ticket stub in your favorite trees ticket bin. They will have a drawing and somebody (usually not us) will win the tree and all the stuff that goes with it. I believe there were 16 trees this year. We put tickets in most of them and some extras in the ones with big cash payouts.
We got home about 2:00 in time to watch the Seattle Seahawks. This is not their year. They were 3-8 going into todays game against San Francisco. They were three points down in the second period when we left the house to go over the river and through the woods to get a tree.
Upon our successful return we were pleased to discover Seattle was up by se7en. They managed to maintain that lead and win the game.
Now we are settled in for the evening and Susan is erecting Mantleville, our mantle based Christmas Village.
Here are some pictures of the erection.
