Just like Halloween and Thanksgiving, Matt and I LOVE Christmas. Its the best, most happiest, most cheerful time ever. Christmas has the best movies, the best music, and the best moments.
For you viewing pleasure I have compiled pictures of Matt and I (and Ernie and Lulu throughout the years). Enjoy.
2010: Christmas in our first home:
Holy Blondness.
Putting the star on the tree.
By this time, Lulu (as a kitten) had already chewed through a strand of lights and been locked in the laundry room. It only got worse from there. See below.

Matt took me to Wicked in downtown Chicago for my Christmas gift --- which was amazeballs.
2011: Our first Christmas in Wisconsin and only 10 days after we purchased our home:
Our tree in the apartment.
Then we closed on our house!
Look how young Matt looks!!!!!
Dad's home warming gift to us since it was so close to Christmas.
Notice the boxes in the background.
He must of thought (like any person) that I wouldn't have time to put up a tree.
I made time.......
Christmas Day!
2012: Two months before we got married:
A snowstorm hit only five days before Christmas that closed down American Family for two days!
Yay!!!
I got Matt his white, red, and blue CUBS themed Christmas tree for the mancave.
Ernie loved it.
Lulu loved the tree upstairs.
They both loved their Christmas shirts they got from Santa.
Our nieces came to help with Christmas cookie making....
And we also gave lots of love to our nephews, Zakery and Zander
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
This year! 2013: Our first year as husband and wife. And a new tree!
We decided to get out our trusty steed. Good ol' faithful. The tree we had for three years.
Notice: Lulu. The chewer.
We put it together.
Looking a little rough, huh?
Do you see the two UNLIT spots?????
Its almost like the lights were chewed......
The culprit.
I'm surprised this didn't happen:
So, we decided to say Goodbye to our first Christmas tree and go find a bigger, nicer one that had lights that actually worked.
Luckily, our little mouse rat-- I mean cat-- Lulu has learned to not chew wires. It was only a phase.
Knock on wood.
Like Now.
The new tree.
A Cashmere FENNImore. Like Fennel. Get it?!
Thats the real name! For real.
Peek a boo! See me in the ornament?
Oh, its just so beautiful
Don't forget about our Cubs tree downstairs!
See the bright white light in the left corner?
The tree.
Lulu eyeing the tree.
Stay away.
Luckily, this year -- she likes my light up presents.
(Easier to replace)
I also bought myself a nativity scene.
And an advent calendar
And surprise, surprise. Lulu is curious about it.
Matt also put out the lights.
Not Griswold style.
Even though that would have been awesome!
The prettiness of Christmas:
Our Trees:
And we wouldn't be "The Fennels" without Christmas themed pictures of.....
our cats: (Circa 2010)
Aren't they adorable?!
See back then (when they were little) they behaved for pictures. You shoulda seen them this year when we took pictures for our Christmas greeting card...... Yikes!!
You'll see those soon!
No worries.
