Christmas Tree

Andy and I decided that even though we weren't going to be in town for Christmas we still needed to get in the Christmas spirit by getting a tree and decorating!! We didn't decorate at ALL last year and it really bummed me out. So we went and got a little tree. Yes, it's lopsided and might actually be dead now, but we like it!! We have a tradition of getting an ornament every year we are married that sort of symbolizes something that happened that year....or one that we just like! We only have 5 of the "Special" ornaments and we tried to spiff up the rest of the tree with regular ornaments. It looks a little Charlie Brown tree like, but oh well! We had fun!!






We also put up our stockings! My awesome friend Ashley helped me make these! I love them!!!

I also FINALLY got to get out one of my favorite Christmas decorations! My village! I love it!! Hopefully it will be expanding as we get more room....it's too small!!





Anyways....I was just feeling in the Christmas mood and I am sure that everyone will be THRILLED to look at my Christmas decorations!! Hope everyone is getting in the Christmas spirit!!
