It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like......

Christmas!!

We finally got around to getting our Christmas tree on Saturday.  The lot close to our house only had 10 trees left and we were lucky enough to find the PERFECT tree.  It's so pretty and smells so good.  

We drank hot chocolate, listened to Christmas music and had a nice night together decorating the tree.  The task of decorating is always a little bit daunting but once those lights start shining on the tree it's always fun.  

Here are a few of my favorite ornaments that we've collected over the years.

This is RD's from childhood.  I just love it.  All of my childhood ornaments are still with my parents...I might have to steal one or two next time we're at their house.

We like to call this guy Vegas Santa

This is nutty

This is going to be our "Elf on the Shelf" starting next year for the little man's first Christmas.  We'll move him every day and remind him that the elf is taking notes and reporting how good he is to Santa.  It'll take a year or two for him to "get it", but i'm excited to start the tradition.

This is "Pearl the Balancing Christmas Pig".  I love her.

Merry Christmas!
