It's Christmas Time!

I love Christmas! It took all my self control to not decorate until Thanksgiving! The day after Thanksgiving Scott picked me up from work and we walked around the mall for a little bit. Then we came home and got out all of our Christmas stuff. I put lights out on our balcony and we put up the tree! We also decided to put up some shelves we have had for awhile, but weren't sure where to put. We decided to put them on our kitchen/dining room wall. We love the shelves there and are kicking ourselves for not putting them up earlier! We were just thinking of putting them in our room... but that still has a very long way to go :)We put up some of our Christmas stuff and then went "shopping" at my mom's to get a few more to fill our shelves! She has lots of decorations from her years of working with children and doesn't have room to put them all up, so she let us borrow some! DaNae made the table centerpiece in her floral design class and we love it! We also hung up our plates for Christmas. We are thinking of getting other plates to keep plates up all year! We love decorating for Christmas!

We have been listening to Christmas music for awhile, but we love that we can do it now without any weird looks! We are also watching Christmas music and have been reading A Christmas Carol! We love Christmas!
