First Christmas as a Mrs.

This Christmas is extra special, because it's Brandon's and my first Christmas being married! To start out this holiday season, Brandon and I were so blessed to win an 8 foot Christmas tree in a contest. I NEVER win drawings, so I was excited:D Here are some pictures of us at the tree lot picking out our tree. It was an adventure getting that thing home and up a flight of stairs (the branches were painfully pokey).

I've had a blast decorating our home and trying to make it feel Christmassy. Below are some pictures of the decorating I've been up to! I've also been doing lots of baking lately and am excited to do lots more during this holiday season! I just love CHRISTMAS.


Getting our first Christmas tree.

Making the final decision...

We found a winner! It's preeettyyy.

It was an interesting drive home. It went a little something like this... Brandon: "I think it's sliding! IS IT SLIDING?!?" ME: "I don't think so. I think we're ok." Brandon: "Oh no, there's a big hill coming up!!!" Me: "AHH!! I think it's sliding! It's most definitely sliding!" Brandon: "AHHH!!!" Me: "AHHH!!!"

Putting the lights on!



All finished!
