OUR FIRST HOLIDAY SEASON AS A MARRIED COUPLE!

Not only our first holiday season as a married couple but also our first holiday season with a baby on the way! WAHOO!!! It has been so amazing! Thanksgiving was so much fun! We went to Reno for 9 days!!!! My sister Lindsay was there with the kids so we finally got got see the little buddy Weston and play with him and we finally got to see my little Brooklyn and how grown up she is! What wonderful little kids! We also got to experience My brother Reilly going through the temple for the first time! What an amazing experience and i am so proud of him! He leaves in 9 days for his mission! I cannot believe the time has come! We got to spend some quality time with my mom and dad which is always a treat as well!!!

Now on to Christmas! This is my favorite time of year! I love all the lights, the rush of everyone shopping, the music , the decorations, and the family time! The best part about this Christmas is that i get to spend it with my amazing husband!!! This is our first Christmas married! We got to go out and get our Christmas tree and decorate it! It was so fun! It was crazy to experience that with my husband instead of my whole family! But this is even better!

Chances dad Larry told us we could come to his house and cut down our Christmas tree! He has a ton in his backyard and saved the best ones for us to choose from! so we got to go on his Ranger and and drive around and look for the perfect one! We found a couple of pretty cute ones but then i found the cutest one and just had to have it! So Chance and his dad got a saw and cut it down! Yea i pretty much just sat on the side lines and watched!!! When we finally got it back to our place, we couldnt wait till the night time to decorate so we started immediately!

The day before we went to michaels and had to invest in some Christmas decorations! Since this is our first Christmas we had nothing!!!! Michaels was having a huge 50% off sale so we got a tree skirt, lights, stockings, and just those ball ornaments!

So we turned on some Christmas music and started to decorate! Here are the results of the day!

Here is my cute husband after we cut down our tree! Please do not ask about the ugly jacket!
That is the tree we picked out! I think it is cute and has a lot of character! Once again please do not ask about the ugly jacket!
Me and my lover! i dont really know what he is looking at, there was no one else there!Chance and his dad! We had fun!
Our first Christmas tree! We are pretty proud of it! We love to just sit here with only the Christmas lights on! Now this is not normally how i would decorate a tree but i think we did pretty good with the budget we had!Lights on!!!!
