Decorating for Christmas

Dan and I had fun setting up our Christmas tree and decorating our house. We also got to discover what decorations we have and figure out what else we might want to get for the future. Here are some pictures of our house.

Boxes ready to be opened....let the decorating begin!

 Once we got all our decorations out we began setting things up, putting lights, and ornaments on the tree. This is also when we both realized that we have quite a collection of ornaments between us. We even have three trees set up in our house! A live tree in our living room and than we each had a fake tree we set up next to our fire place. I wasn't able to get pictures of those trees yet.

Our First Christmas Ornament :)

 I love our tree :) I love the memories that come with placing each ornament on our tree. I love our angel sitting on top glowing different colors. I love the smell of the tree and how all the presents under the tree and the snow outside is making my excitement for Christmas build.

We had fun setting everything up...which took us a couple days. Dan had a nasty cold for a few days so getting everything done in one night wasn't possible. Plus by the end of the day we both have been pretty tired. I realized that we both have been gone or busy on weekends since September! We are looking forward to the end of this month and the next couple months because we have nothing planned...and we are planning on keeping it that way.
