putting up the tree

so it's the day after thanksgiving which means that i get to put up our christmas tree. that's right, tim has set ground rules that the tree cannot go up until the day after thanksgiving. if it was up to me the tree would have gone up november 1st. i just love this time of year, i can't wait to set up the tree and decorate it! here are a few pictures of our tree (we don't have a topper) and a couple of my favorite new ornaments.
