Christmas Decorations

Although we are going back to DC for Christmas, this was still our first Christmas Season in our new house & I had to go all out decorating!  We have 3 trees (yes, 3!) and put wreaths on all of our windows and Alan did an amazing job on our Christmas lights (although he needs to step it up a notch next year so we have a chance at winning the neighborhood light contest!)  Since we put so much effort into decorating, we also decided that we should have some of our friends over for a little Holiday Housewarming Party.  We hadn’t done this since we moved in & figured this was the perfect opportunity.  We also were invited to go to the Westside Tennis Club, which is right by our house, to look at their 1 million+ Christmas light display…it was pretty amazing how many lights they had wrapped on the branches of those trees!

We received our new stockings as a wedding gift & I just adore them!  And this is my entry way tree…it’s probably my favorite decorated tree.  I need to boost up the amount of ornaments I have on my big tree next year so that it looks more complete.
