The beginning of the Christmas season has been an exciting time for Matt and I, as we are beginning our own traditions and decorating our own house for the first time. We took the first week of December off from work to decorate, shop and relax a little before the holiday buzz begins.
As far as the decorating is concerned, we both had to compromise for what the end result woud promise....a beautiful little bungalow all bright & snuggly for the holidays! Matt wanted the retro C7 lights on the outside, while I wanted clean/classic white lights inside....Rufus voted for anything fun to chew up. (He chose all the great bows that I put on the presents) Needless to say, the bows aren't very pretty anymore.
Now that the stockings are hung and the presents are wrapped, we've settled in for a nice enjoyable Christmas as a new family. It's been so fun already and I can't wait until the Christmas Eve & morning festivities begin.

I had to take backseat on the way home from Lowes, we we're packed with ladder, tree and lights!
Thankfully the tree wasn't too tall, it was just right!
Matt had too much fun putting up the lights! It was such a pretty day and we had a blast.
This is when I started to get nervous...but he did go skydiving 6 months ago so we figured he would do just fine!
Of course we had to decorate Rufus, too! I promise he loves us.
