It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I absolutely love Christmas! I love decorating. I love the lights. I love designing our Christmas card & receiving everyone's cards. And I love shopping for gifts. I have always been like this.... I use to do most of the decorating at my parent's house and always went and got the Christmas tree with my dad (it was our tradition). The only year I didn't go with my dad to get the tree was last year. Fortunately, I was home a couple of weekends ago, so my dad and I went and got the tree together... I can't wait to see the tree all decorated :)

This year I got my Christmas shopping done early so I didn't have to fight the crowds. Which left me to have more time with decorating our house. Our house feels so cozy when it is Christmas time. Rob and I listen to the "Kenny & Dolly" CD while we decorate the tree each year.

I always take pictures of our house and the decorations so that I can remeber where I put things for the next year.

Outside:

we have a wreath with lights hanging between the garage doors (you just can't see it)

we usually have candles in the windows but with a toddler I didn't think it was safe! Hopefully next year.
