Time to get festive!

The house was all decorated on Friday, except for our real tree. We usually wait until the first weekend in December to go get it, but we are all feeling extra festive this season and wanted to get it early and get our decorating finished. So we hit the the tree lot and brought home a beautiful noble fir.
While Joe was wrapping the lights around it, the kids were happy pulling the ornaments out of the box and talking about all of the fun memories we've had.

Joe put up our angel...

Then we were ready to hang the ornaments. This is my favorite part...we have Christmas music playing and lots of hot chocolate to drink!

Finally, the finished product...
We sure are enjoying the holiday season already!
