some Christmas prep 2012

Dave tying up the tree we bought at Ace hardware on Summer. YAY! there is nothing like the anticipation of bring a tree home to decorate!



unpacking the decorations.



tree pre-decorations



We didn't have a tree topper and can't find any we really like. This was actually an ornament at Macy's that I got on super sale for like 2 bucks and it totally looks legit as a tree topper.



Decorated!



Some christmas cookies we made with eileen and her kids.



You can't tell form this picture but this Mary at the dollar store nativity set had waaay too much lipstick and rouge on!She did not look like a virgin mary in this set, that's for sure.



my Christmas cards this year.
