Christmas Decorations

For a long time we debated back and forth whether we even want to set up a Christmas Tree this year.  We figured with school and the baby and all, maybe we would be too busy and tired to do it.  In the end, we decided it wouldn't seem like Christmas without some kind of tree, so we went to Walmart and got a cheap artificial tree.  It was pre-lit, so that was a definite added bonus.  We put it up and then looked at the ornaments we had.  It was a pretty scanty supply (2 USU ornaments, a silver bell, a Santa from Holland, and one from my first Christmas).  We then hung some cinnamon scented pinecones and some candy canes and Hersey's kisses. 

 We put out our nutcraker, our Lego Christmas countdown calendar from Mom and Dad, and downloaded a virtual fireplace app for the iPad.  All in All, it turned out pretty good.  We are happy with it.  Now we just need to finally get a baby to enjoy it with.  Probably you should read Lindsay's blog for updates on that, but it should come this week, so that is super exciting.

Well, Merry Christmas everyone. That's all.

Nicely done. I especially liked the addition of the electronic fireplace.
