Fa la la la la....

It's not even December yet, but Christmas has come early here at 4887 Kelly Ave.

Look, it's not that we hate Thanksgiving (like SOME people I know...eh, Jenna.), but in all honestly December will be here soon and the coming weeks are going to fly by. In fact, I didn't even get to changing the calendar to November on the fridge....it's gone that fast.

So, in case you don't get to stop by before Christmas (and I seriously won't hold it against you; it's just a busy time of year for everybody), here's what our place looks like all ho-ho-ho-ified.

We got our first real-live Christmas tree since 2007:

I switched the table runner for a snowflake one ...(pssst....check out the new roman shades I bought for the dining room windows!)

Put out the best Nativity set EVER courtesy of my Grammie. My mom has the exact same set, and when I got married, my Grammie searched all over eBay to get me my very own. Mom let Jenna and I put the Nativity set out each year...and Jenna and I may or may not have done some inappropriate things to the baby Jesus. Lord, forgive me.


And I copied my mom's annual Christmas-tree-on-the-ledge idea. A skinny Christmas tree from Hobby Lobby did just the trick:

So, that's how things are getting festive around here. Hope you do get a chance to come by; we'll make some hot cocoa and have a good time.
