O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!!

So, since we have this GREAT camera, I thought this year we'd take nice pictures of our Christmas decorations! And since Jordan is the only one who knows how to use it, I waited patiently until he had a few minutes to take some shots :) He took them in all different kinds of lights to see what would turn out best. I guess there are pros and cons to each different way of lighting it, but I think they turned out pretty good!

I have to say, I LOVE my Christmas tree this year. It turned out just the way I wanted!

Taken from the top of the stairs with the lights out

Then with the lights on

And up close

And focused in on our first pewter ornament...we get one engraved with the date every year. This was, of course, a "First Christmas" one...

And with our beautiful Nativity! (thanks to Jordan's grandma!)

And of course, the stockings at the fireplace...Jordan and I made these the first year we were married. Never noticed till now that mine is...bigger!! Haha... oh well :) Honey, you're filling it to the BRIM this year, right? (not!...well on secondthought, maybe the baby could fit in mine?)

When you have a baby in the house, half that stuff will be put away. Your house will SOOO need to be kid proofed!

LOL I was totally thinking that. No more Nativity on the coffee table, that's for sure! Gotta live it up while I can, I guess!!
