Christmas Decorations!

I was way too excited for Christmas to wait until after Thanksgiving to hang up my decorations, so I did it this last weekend. Here are some of the bigger decorations...This first one is hanging in our hallway and holds Christmas cards! It is actually from my mom... thanks mom!

Here is the wreath I made! If you look closely, you will see hollies, pinecones, and poinsettias. This is my first wreath... I was pretty happy with how it turned out :)

Nathan surprised me with this Nativity Set a few days ago... I love the willow statues! I was pretty excited. I used a placemat and twinkle lights to set up the display.

And last but CERTAINLY NOT LEAST... our first Christmas tree!! It's a fake, pre-lit, six foot tree. WE LOVE IT!! We also have twinkle lights hanging in our windows... but they didn't picture very well. Anyway... Merry (early) Christmas!
