Last weekend, we went and got our Christmas tree and got our house all decorated! Michael did the outside lights and then we went to a local flower nursery and got a Christmas tree. While we were there we also got some new flowers for our front flowerbeds. I planted pansies in one and cyclamens in the other. I had never heard of these flowers before but they are really pretty and have such nice big blooms.
We decorated the tree the next day. Joseph woke up from his nap just in time to help me hang some ornaments. :) While we decorated the tree, I remembered how I told Michael last year as we decorated our tree in Minnesota that the next time we did our tree, we would have a little 7-8 month old crawling around. So fun to see how much can change in one year!
We also finally got our gas logs for our fireplace so we've been able to use it the past few chilly days. It's so wonderful to be able to enjoy the holidays with our sweet boy and in our cozy home!

Michael found this branch that made a perfect cross - it was a pretty neat moment

And the pansies - I decided these flowers are an awful lot of work for such a tiny, wimpy flower. :)
