Well it was the Wednesday before (November 15th) that i had decided to get things started and i reorganized the 2 front rooms so we could put our Christmas tree up. Drew had church meeting so while he was gone the kids and I pulled out all the Christmas boxes and the Christmas tree.
Since I was excited and couldn't wait any longer I put up our tree and decorated the house all by myself (the kids helped decorate the tree).... Drew came home after about 3 hours of meetings and the decorating was mostly done and the tree was up.
Drew decided this was his best birthday present ever.... house decorated and Christmas tree up all before his birthday and he didn't have to do any of it... (well inside anyway... he put the Christmas lights up on Saturday the 19th).
My favorite colors this year for my tree is Red and Gold.... along with the kids ornaments
Every year my mom makes these beautiful snowflakes that she crochets throughout the year....
My dad made some wooden ornaments.... i think they look so awesome on my tree
My angel.... LOVE this angel not exactly sure why but one of my most FAVORITE ornaments
The finished product i think it looks pretty and i think i did a good job putting it together .... it is almost twice the size of me. Of course it's not like the Utah trees it's not one of those beautiful REAL trees you cut down by yourself that is huge and full.... Here in New Mexico you either get a fake tree or a snoopy tree... so I LOVE my tree!!!
A couple new bulbs I bought this year... I really like the gold with red
Our stockings that Drew's step-mom made of each of us (still waiting on Taylor's) and our stairs all wrapped with garland and lights
another view of our stairs
The outside of our house... the girls helped Drew put the lights up... all in all i think out house looks pretty good!!! I hope that you all have a Merry Christmas that you are able to reflect on our Saviors Birth and enjoy being with those you love...... and a Happy New Year!!!
