We decked the halls!

It's true, last week we got our decorate on.

Here in Slovakia, it's common and cultural to put your tree up a day or two before Christmas day.  And while we're down with that, we both still quite like the atmosphere a tree provides, as well as all the other fun decor.

So we pulled out our two shoeboxes, found us a local tree-selling place, cut out some snowflakes, and set to work.

Prepare for photo overload :)

Meet our little tree (it's about as tall as I am).

Putting on her pink stocking ornament (thanks Great Gma Rodriguez!)

And Daddy had a little helper putting up the star.

Snowflakes hung. Stars hung. Nativity set out.

Then I had a little night time fun playing around with the camera.

And finally a little preview of our Christmas-y photo shoot with Elise...

Loving me some Christmastime and decorations, but more importantly, loving me the true meaning of it all!
