We got our house all ready for Christmas a couple weekends ago and here is how it turned out. I love having all the Christmas stuff up, it makes the house so cheerful! I get so used to all the decorations by the time we take them down... last year I told Jared the house looked like we were moving because it felt so bare afterwards! It wasn't actually that bad :)

We are so excited about the holidays! I am almost done shopping.. just one more gift to buy. It has taken me six weeks!! Now I just need an elf to come over and wrap all the presents. I asked Louie if he would dress up like an elf and wrap the gifts... he said no, so I am still looking :)

Also, here is our Christmas card!

Can't wait for the weekend!!!
