It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We know it's barely November...but since we are heading to Utah for Thanksgiving and won't be back until December starts anyway, we figured we should get into the Holiday spirit and come home to a decked house. To start, Richard hung the lights on the house (he did such a fabulous job...although it scared the living crap out of me to see him hanging on the roof like that).

Last night I made this wreath to hang on the door.

I was pretty pleased with myself.

Lastly, I got out my most prized possession...my Lenox China Jewels Nativity set. It retired last year, and a couple of weeks ago Richard gave me the last piece for our nine year dating anniversary, the very hard to find kneeling shepherd boy. (And yes, we celebrate our dating anniversary.) Thanks also to my wonderful mother and good friend Rob who gave me all the other pieces. I should note that I don't have the angels in the set. There are like five or six of them (and as you can see, it's big enough already), and they have big wings that I don't like. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Happy Holidays!
