Christmas Picture Fun

One of the things that I wanted to do while my younger sister was in town was take our Christmas picture. We haven't mailed out Christmas cards in a couple of years, so now was a good time to reverse that trend. So one evening with A armed with our camera and D and I trying to look our best, she snapped some pictures. Here are some that came from that evening...

Our first Christmas...

... in our new home! I have been so excited about doing our house up for Christmas. Choosing a fresh tree, putting lights up outside, hanging stockings over a fireplace, and garland. How can one forget the plastic greenery that gives a home the Christmas feel?

We bought our tree from a farm down the road- you might know it as Lowe's- and loaded it into D's truck to bring home. It was quite a sight to see us lugging this 8' tree into our home, spreading needles everywhere. After cutting the netting, placing the tree stand in just the right spot, and heaving the tree into place, we were ready to start decorating. The picture above is of me doing the dirty work while D snaps pictures.


And this is the finished product. Merry Christmas!
