{part two} The tree is UP!

{part two}

We decorated out little hearts out (well, I did) on Wednesday night and got everything done. The tree, the lights and the other decorations look great! Here it is when it is all starting to come together:

Stephen loves my Minnie Mouse Santa hat...he just does not want to admit it!

The start of the tree...won't be long now before it is up!

Working on putting our Christmas tree up. I bought this tree after Christmas for 75% off years ago, I think I paid 4 dollars and some change for it. It works well and I have definitely gotten my money out of it!

I just love my cute cookie jar and our new stockings for our first Christmas together. Also, my Aunt Mary made the cloth that is in the center of the table, one side is leaves for fall and the other side for Christmas...genus!

My Kitchen Christmas tree...it is normal to have a tree in the kitchen, right?!

The finished tree...beautiful!

Just a shot of the tree and the big comfy reading chair with a adorable Santa pillow :)

Isn't it beautiful?

Aghh...so cozy and Christmasey!

Putting our feet up after a busy short week and night :)

Now you have gotten tons of pictures of our home and Christmas decorations :) Hope you enjoy decorating as much as we did. Part 3 post coming soon about Thanksgiving and BLACK FRIDAY!!
