Lights...Camera...Decorate!

Today we spent most of the afternoon putting up our outside decorations for Christmas. We purchased 10 Christmas wreaths at the local nursery (ooh, they smell so wonderful) and I added pretty bows to them to give some color.



Edward, hanging up the wreaths...while trying not to fall!! He was a bit nervous way up on the ladder, but he did a great job!


View of the house at night. It's hard to see the wreaths, but they're there. Since we live in a Saltbox style home, I thought about how perfect it would be with candles in the windows, but honestly...walking around to every room each night to turn them on and off was not something we wanted to do. Maybe next year.


Front view with flash photography...so you can see the wreaths.


Hopefully we'll be getting our tree next week...I'm hoping it snows, but I highly doubt we'll get any. It's always more fun to cut down a tree when traipsing through the snow!! Here are a few photos from previous years:

As you can see, we have a great farm nearby with beautiful scenery and tons of trees to choose from! We're at the top of the hill...the farm extends beyond the water and pretty far in each direction as well.

Can't wait to see what tree we get this year!! When I look back at previous years, our trees have all been so different except for one thing...they're all TALL! This year will probably be no different. As long as we can get that angel on the top it's all good. =)
