It's Christmas time!

I decided to get a head start on decorating for Christmas this year since we'll be out of town next week for Thanksgiving.

What a difference a year makes!!  Last year at this time Abby was only a week old and decorating wasn't even anywhere on our 'to-do' list.  Thanksgiving was a bit of a blur, though we do have pictures of us eating what looks like a pretty good meal.  And Christmas was spent with Matt's parents walking up and down the halls with our 6-week old colicky baby.  Again - what a difference a year makes!

We decided to go very basic with our tree this year since we aren't sure how Abby would be with all the ornaments and I don't want to hover over her constantly to ensure she doesn't break/stomp on/eat/throw/lose any of them.  Once we test out the waters this Christmas, we'll decide what to do next year.

She was such a big help during decorating!  I can't wait for Christmas this year!

(Disclaimer: I usually don't wear my jeans rolled up, and Abby usually wears pants.  Well, most of the time.)
