It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

Today started out as a lazy day, but didn't continue! Once we got moving we went to the gym, then went and purchased a washer and dryer (which I am really happy with!!). Joe started organizing some of our storage things, so I started helping. After organizing some storage Joe looked at the Christmas stuff and sighed...I knew what he was thinking! We ended up putting our Christmas decorations up today! The place looks sooo cute! I am soo happy with how it looks! I took some pictures of us decorating and some of our decorations! :) Some of you might enjoy (especially my mom!...who will get to see the decorations soon!)

First here are pictures of some of the decorations we purchased (then I'll show you the tree!).  We have two stockings on the wall beside the stairs, a glass container with red and green little balls, and a sign that says Merry Christmas in the window, but I didn't get a picture for those!  Maybe later :P

This is our cute 'Merry Christmas' sign that we got from Porters (our local craft store!)

Our cute collection of Christmas decor!

Notice that countdown calendar I made?  And I love the red sign!  It's a great message!

I love this nativity set!!  It is a Willow Tree set!  They always have such cute things!! (Thanks Mom and Dad Wilde for contributing this!!)

 Here is the tree set up!  We had a fun time with this!  We got a 7.5 ft tree that was pre-lit!  I am glad we got a pre-lit tree!!

Getting excited to see our tree!!

Getting ready to set it up!!

 

Putting the base in!

What a great fluffing job ;)

 

We had to do lots of fluffing!

 

The star is going up!!!

GORGEOUS!

Putting up our first Christmas decoration together!!! :D

Decorating with the other ornaments we got!

I love this star!  And I love the tree!!

I am soooo happy with how things turned out!  I love the Christmas season and the decor that goes with it! :D  I am glad we were able to decorate today - especially since this snow is making it feel like December :P!
