Preparing for Christmas!

Our Advent wreath!


Our tree-in-progress!

We have started our Christmas decorating! After our exciting trip to Garden Ridge, we opened up the tree stuff on Saturday! We got the tree set up and moved into the dining room. I put the tree skirt on and we were both very glad that we picked a pre-lit tree!

Mom is making us a wreath for the door, and we are in the process of putting up our outside decorations. I also bought an Advent wreath for our house, and we lit the first candle yesterday. I am excited about bringing that tradition into our family!

I opened up the ornament box this evening and found that all those beautiful ornaments did not come with hooks to put them on the tree. Oh well. I'll pick up a box of paper clips tomorrow. We were able to put up our Luke and Leia ornaments, as well as a couple of ornaments that we already had. We also put up the garlands as well as the star on the top!

I'll have more decoration updates as they come!
