We've been busy the past few days getting the house all ready for Christmas. The boys were a great help with the tree. They were literally THROWING the ball shaped ornaments on the tree trying to see if any of them would catch in the higher branches. Luckily we only had one gold ball casualty.
Nate did a great job with the lights this year. We actually hung lights on the second level of the house...this is a big step for us!

Our 7 year old $30 Christmas tree from our first Christmas is still going strong. Every year as Nate puts it together he says, "Thats it......this is the LAST year we are using this dumb tree!" It isn't prelit...and he has to manually put each branch in. He has been saying that for the past 3 years though. I'm sure I will be hearing the exact same line next Christmas. Hey...I still like it! We jazzed it up this year with a new star and we got a bunch of new bright red ornaments.
Hooray for Christmas!

pretty!
It looks great! We still, after 10 years of marriage have never put Christmas lights outside. We even bought lights for it about 2-3 years ago and they are still in the boxes. So my hats off to you!
I LOVE it! It all looks so good!
Great job with the lights. I am really impressed. I always love the way you decorate. I really like your taste.
I love your mantle. That makes a house for me. Our's is a ledge that is drywalled in and you can't even put anything on it, it's not deep enough, very wimpy. I love your's!
Where did you get your candle holders that are on the mantle? I've been looking for some that size, but I've only seen taller ones.
I think your tree looks very festive. I love Christmas too - our house tends to get a little out of hand with the decorations! You would never believe we don't have kids with how into Christmas Jeff and I get.
Your house looks great! You have a great sense of style.
I enjoyed catching up on all the blogs. Lights look great, house is festive, and Nate is amazing. So glad you are doing so well. Love you lots. Mom
Looking great! SO excited to see most (if not all) of your fam next week! I miss you guys! Since I don't have a job, I would like to come and visit you guys sometime!
Your tree looks fab! Everything you touch turns to gold. You've got a great gift for decor!
