Decorating for Christmas

Even though this will be our second Christmas together, it's our first Christmas that we'll spend together at our house. So we were excited to decorate and really get into the spirit. Traditionally in my family, the Christmas stuff (including the tree) comes out the day after Thanksgiving. Because of schedules and Ben & Tasha's wedding over Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to decorate a bit before that so that we could take full advantage of the festive trimmings the entire month of December. We were happy to have a weekend with good weather so that Bryan could also put up the outdoor lights. Here are a few photos of the finished product.
