This is my favorite element of our Christmas decorations: our Willow Tree nativity scene. My awesome brother has been buying me pieces of this set for several years now, and I LOVE it. In fact, when I started putting it out last night, I realized there was a box I hadn't opened yet. I totally forgot that he gave me new pieces last Christmas! I love the camel and all of the other new animals. Thanks, GG!
Tree pre-ornaments. I forgot to take a picture post-ornaments... oops. 
So, I have to make a confession. Last year after Christmas, I found this tree skirt (which looks pink, but is actually maroonish... have I mentioned how terrible my camera is?) and matching stockings for like $2 at Wal-Mart, so I couldn't resist. I also couldn't resist getting them all embroidered- even though we weren't even engaged yet. So yes, I've had these fun Christmas decorations all this time, just waiting to be used!
I just love Christmas ornaments! David and I don't have a ton, but we're working on our collection. My mom gave me a lot of the ones that were mine as a kid, so that's helped out (Cathy- we meant to ask you for some of those too :)). Also, we have been trying to document these fun new times in our lives with ornaments because it's such a neat tradition to put them up every year and think about all of the memories past. So, here is "Our First Christmas Together" ornament (compliments of James and JaNell Frisby!) and "Our New Home" ornament :). We want to get a Samford ornament and an EKU one (hint, hint...).I can't help but smile every time I walk through the living room and see it all lit up.
Oh- and Todd came over to help share the Christmas cheer (or something like that :)!
