It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....then I fell down the stairs!

First let me start by saying that I am ok after my crazy fall this morning. Okay not really crazy my feet just slipped out from under me so I slid down the stairs and landed on my rear! Not fun. I was in a lot of pain this morning but I am taking lots of IBProfen and taking it easy and I am feeling better (I'm a teeny bit worried -okay a lot worried!- about having to get out of bed tomorrow morning other than that I think I can handle it). Thank goodness we had deocrated for Christmas on Saturday! :) I LOVE Christmas and having the house all decorated is one of my favortie things. We got a new tree last year after Christmas so this was our first year putting it up and I love it! I love everything about Christmas. The magic, the spirit of it all, the baking, giving gifts, it truly is my favorite time of year. Here are some pictures of our decorations...

The tree Again, with the flash this time.

Joe made this stocking holder 7 years ago. We got new stockings this year - I LOVE THEM~ The elf with the stockings....

We had a great thanksgiving and Joe's parents came to visit. We had lots of fun seeing some Christmas lights, playing games, teaching Grandma to play guitar hero, and of course eating until we were stuffed! :) Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.

Now post your Christmas decorations! I want to see your houses too! :)

Merry Christmas~!
