Decorating the Tree!

Here's our new tree that I bought from Hayneedle.com!  It's exactly what I wanted with the frosted tips, pinecones, and lights, so I was willing to spend a little more on it ($350) because I see it as an investment that will hopefully last for years to come!!!  I love it!!




 So pretty!!
 My most favorite Christmas decoration, though, is my nativity set.  I bought this a few years ago at Costco and I love it more than anything!!
 Bought this garland when I bought the tree because it matches with it.  I wanted to put it on the mantel, but it was way too long so we ended up putting it on the railing instead.  Have to run an extension cord down the stairs to plug it in though since I still didn't get a convenient plug-in!  Ugh!!
 Stockings I found at Hobby Lobby on sale for about $5 each!!!  Super cute!
 I love our tree!!!!  It turned out perfectly, considering how me and the kids spent hours at Hobby Lobby (the day we went to Scheels) trying to decide what kind of theme to go with, which ornaments to buy, how many, etc.  :)  I made a bow with ribbon that I put on as the topper to the tree, so I'll have to post some pictures later of the tree with that on it!  Here it is in the daylight...

 Our Christmas countdown with activities on each tag.  We ended up not really doing this during the week because we forgot or were too busy, so we would try and catch up by doing everything on the weekends, mostly Sunday afternoons.  Some of them we didn't do at all, though, so hopefully do better next year!!!
