Decorating for Christmas...

The rest of the weekend, we spent getting the house decorated for Christmas!

We went out on Saturday morning and bought our live Christmas tree. I think it is our prettiest one yet!

during the day...

and at night!

I even had time to wrap presents! I wrap all of our gifts in a red and green plaid paper but I found this personalized "Christian" paper last year and wrapped Christian's gifts with it!
On Sunday, we awoke to our first snow fall of the season!

It was so cozy watching the snow fall most of the day! Christian and I even had hot chocolate and watched Charlie Brown's Christmas!
