merry merry merry, tree tree tree

Last year, the weather was sunny on Christmas Day and we drove over to Capital of Texas Highway to see the decorated trees. Every year, some stealth group decorates a bunch of trees right off the highway. In 2006, seeing the trees every day during my crummy commute to Westlake was definitely a boost. In 2007, seeing the trees up close added a festive touch to our low-key Christmas.

This year, the weather was sucky and we didn't go. We stayed home and enjoyed meatloaf and mac-and-cheese with the crusty top, and green beans and rolls, and later there may be pie. I'm hoping the sun will come out tomorrow or this weekend, and we can sneak over to the highway and take some more photos. Maybe even bring someone with us, so I could have a photo of C. and me together. (I'm especially hoping the New Year's themed tree is up again, because there's a great opportunity there for next year's holiday cards.)
