I put a nativity scene as a screensaver on my phone. I debated between these 3.

Christmas tree 2009

This was the earliest we ever put up our tree, on Thanksgiving weekend. It was also some of the easiest decorating our house. The kids carried the boxes up from the basement and I went through them, handing out decorations and telling them where to put them. It only took about 2-3 hours to do both the tree and the house. It has been really fun having it all done early to enjoy!

Brrrr!

Here are Daryl and I headed out to a black tie event, our first ever. I had never owned an evening gown before this, either.
