those christmas lights....

 Wadsworth our christmas duck, just chillin...

This cute guy helped put up the tree and all the lights. Isn't he good looking?

We finally got our tree up! My family has a history of always using FAKE trees (beautiful, yet tacky)....and Dave's family always has real ones. Therefore, Dave had a pretty hard time convincing me to go with a real one (not). I loved going to the lot and picking out the perfect tree for us. And they smell so good. We love the ornaments too. Old school with a mix of dr. suess. Yes! Its finally starting to feel a little more like christmas. We can't wait to go home to California for the holidays. It will be a much needed break!
