Our Christmas Decor

We had moved to NC last Thanksgiving ('08) so this was technically our second holiday season in our new home. However, last year was such a whirlwind that we never had a chance to get in to the holiday decorating. So, this year we made up for it!

Here's our little fake tree ... next year we'll probably upgrade but for now, this little tree did the trick!


Our neighbors in our cul-de-sac do some "fancy" outdoor decorating each year, so we had to step up our game this year as well. Turns out that Brad is seriously a master light-hanger. Check out the lights on our tree branches!


And the final product ....


Our Christmas decorating also gave me a chance to do some holiday crafts (have I mentioned that I love to craft?! ;)

Our new front door wreath - thank goodness for cheap ornaments at the Dollar Store and the glory of the glue gun!


And a fun craft project involving a styrofoam wreath base, scrapbooking paper, more glue gunning and clothespins and ta-daaa, a new way to display the holiday cards that we received from friends and family!


And what would Christmas be without torturing the poor dog with photos for our Christmas card. He was patient with me as usual :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!! HO HO HO!!!
