Getting in the holiday spirit

I absolutely love the holidays (like just about everyone else I know) and while Charlie may be a little too young to have any clue as to what's happening it feels a little more special this year!  We got our tree the first weekend of December from the good ole' Home Depot, which has never disappointed us.  We went with a Douglas Fir, here's CPL making the final decision!

  

We got right on the decorating and with the exception of a few more outside lights that Papa Laur still has to conquer we're in full on holiday mode over here.  Chelsea is always a great sport when it comes to posing in front of the tree and this year is no exception!

 

 I decided with the addition of the bambino we needed to step up our stocking game so I purchased new stockings for everyone (except the pup) from Land of Nod and I'm super happy with them!  If anyone has seen cute/affordable puppy stockings let me know, I'm on the look out!

Charlie, like his momma, LOVES santa hats!

Next on the agenda is constructing and decorating the annual candy house.  I'll be sure to post pictures of the final product :)
