It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

As the title suggests, we have (finally) begun to decorate for Christmas!!!  This is one of the happiest and best times of the year.  After spending a week with Nick's family, we've made our way back home.  Regardless of the 6 hour drive (that should have been closer to 4), Nick was kind enough to help me maneuver furniture, unpack Christmas decorations, re-pack fall decorations, move the tree until I found the perfect spot, and add a few nails here & there to adorn our walls with more decor.  What a lucky girl I am.  Here are some iPhone pictures (better quality than my Blackberry, but never comparable to that of a real camera) to share.

Our Tree (FULL of snowmen!)

Our Advent Wreath... Might need a little sprucing - perhaps to resemble the one here?

Nick found a way to hang my snowflakes for me - to bring snow to where we live :)

My favorite pre-move steal (the vase) - and the newly modified floral arrangement (cheap cheap cheap decor from Hobby Lobby, Wal*Mart, & Target!)

With that, my holiday to-do list continues:
-Decorate.... check!
-Send out Christmas cards.... in progress!
-Bake sugar cookies & cupcakes for Nick & my co-workers/students
-Begin/continue/finish Christmas shopping
-Make official Christmas vacation plans
-Pinterest more fun crafts and ideas

Merry Merry :)
