Decorating for Christmas!

Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I love decorating for it. Last Wednesday Josh and I went and bought our Christmas tree, and it has been making the house smell WONDERFUL! My dad always used to take the trimmings from the tree and use them to decorate the mantle and I always loved it. Josh and I don't have a mantle, but I decided to use some tree trimmings to make centerpieces for our coffee table and dinner table, and I am going to attempt to make a garland. The nice lady at Lowes where we bought our tree let me take as much of the trimmings as I wanted from the box where they throw them, so I have a LOT of little branches. :-) I thought I would share some pictures with you of what has been done so far.


Getting ready to move the couch and set up the tree :-)

The evolution of the Christmas tree.




This little angel was made by my mom's stepmom and given to me when I was really little :-)






I doubt too many Ohio Christmas trees have sea shells on them! :-)












My first attempt at a centerpiece for the coffee table.




The wreath for the front door.

I just bought an artificial one and decorated it myself- it's cheaper that way!


More decorating to come later~

In other exciting news, IT'S SNOWING!! YAY! :-) According to the forecast, we might get up to and inch, but probably not even that much.






I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
