It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!!!

So we decided to upgrade from our 3 ft. tree of former years to a nice bushy 7 and 1/2 ft. fake tree from the wonderful Christmas section at Walmart (seriously- I love that the ornaments are organized by color and packaged in coordinated bundles! It made the process so much quicker. ) The tree was a lot more complicated to put together than our old one, but we really like the way that it turned out. The kids had a blast decorating as you can see from the crazy expressions on their faces in these pictures.






I couldn't resist taking a picture from the sidewalk. I love how cozy our house looks with the tree in the window! The old tree barely went up to the bottom of the first window and it was standing on a wooden chest!

What a happy happy beginning! Hope your tree lasts as long as ours has. Your couch might not last too long though, I think Christian is standing on the arm to put the star up eh? Naughty Naughty! Keep those holiday pictures coming!
