holiday deco

We have started decorating for the holidays....so fun!!

Here is Dave and Dan putting up our lights:

They turned out great! Although pics don't do it justice.

Then we started work on the inside...

We got our tree this week at Lowe's. It's fun to get a tree for the first time in a new house (well new to me). We had to figure out placement, size, etc. We wanted to put it in front of our big window...but our tree was too big. So here it is in the corner - which works great because you only have decorate about 1/2 of it really well!

I keep trying to take a pic of the ornaments and lights - but our ornaments are gold and silver. I guess they just don't show up when photographed very well. We tried day and night for pics.

Here are my favorite ornaments. Do you all have favorite ornaments on your tree?

Over Thanksgiving, we were in Wichita visiting Dave's family. It was so fun because we went shopping on Friday to one of my favorite shops - Trio's. Janie, Dave's mom, got this fun Christmas tree for us because we are a little low on Christmas deco (being that this is our first together). Thanks Janie!!

I love the holidays!!
