Our real live Christmas tree, hand picked at the corner Christmas Tree Park and carried home. (I helped carry it the entire way home this year!)
And don't worry, I got to decorate it twice this year because it fell over a couple weeks ago...
We have decided that we are going to collect ornaments as a family tradition. This year's ornaments were made from a nut and shell lei from Hawaii.
The Christmas pillow from Steve's mom and the hand-me-down garland from my mother (which I love however we will need to find another place for it next year. Steve does not like the fact that he cannot put his arm around me while sitting on the couch and I did not like the night that it fell on me while we camping out on the couch all night.)
Our beloved Willow Tree Nativity.
Not really a Christmas decoration, but we are excited to have this picture of President Monson.
Our keyboard adorned with a simple nativity and polar bear and, yes of course, Christmas music.
Our stockings (which were hung with care)
BTW, I think Santa forgot to bring oranges to our house because we each had a can of mandarin oranges in the toe of our stockings....
The cutest nativity set that Steve got on his mission in Louisville, KY
Our coffee table with Christmas stories and candies...
... which are guarded by this nutcracker which Steve painted as a wee lad.
Merry Christmas from the Allreds!
