Last night we got our FIRST real Christmas tree! It was so fun going and picking one out. Of course it took awhile for me to make a decision on the right tree (I have no idea where Jason wandered off to while I was doing that) and finally I found it! We decorated it and it is sooooo beautiful! I love having a real tree in the house because the smell brings back so many memories of being younger. I think that is why I love Christmas time so much because I feel like a kid again. I found some new really cute Christmas decor this year-I love decorating!
This morning was the FIRST snowfall that actually stuck to the ground and we woke up with snow-covered trees. It was so gorgeous! Jason also said it was his FIRST snowfall of the season for him since he was about nine. He couldn't wipe the smile off his face. It was really cute.
Friday was the FIRST day after Thanksgiving I had to work in four years. Believe me I did not want to work, but at least it wasn't in retail.
We do have one LAST thing that will happen this week. Jason has his LAST birthday in his twenties on Tuesday. He will be turning 29 (yikes!) and will enter his thirties in one year. Crazy!!! When I was younger I never would have imagined I would marry someone four years older than me-I can't believe I will be married to someone almost 30! I remember my Grandpa would always tell us he was 29 when we were little....now I am married to one! Tonight we had our friends over for birthday cake and cupcakes. I love having people come over...it just feels great when my house is full of people, ESPECIALLY amazing friends!

Happy Thanksgiving! It's hard to be away from family on Holidays. Your house looks adorable, you have incredible taste, and your tree is perfect. Wanna come decorate for me?
Your house is always so cute! We had a blast, and thanks for chasing my child around your house. Both of my girls adore you.
Your tree and decorations are so cute! You're lucky you have snow. I keep waiting for it to snow here so it can feel more like Christmas is on its way! Glad you had a good Thanksgiving!
Your decorations are soooo cute!!! I'm glad you a great Thanksgiving!!
Dang, you and Jason are a bunch of old farts now! HA HA! (I guess me and Mark are old too, considering Mark is only a year younger than Jason!) Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, even though you guys were away from family. Mark and I are lucky enough to live close to both of our families. I love your tree by the way! I bet your house smells nice and piney! Miss ya friend!
Is the box on your table center piece from my wedding?! Cuz that is what I have on my table too!! Your house is so cute and I love your tree! It's so true that friends become your family while you are away at school and such. Glad you have good ones!
Everything looks so cute and your tree is gorgeous! My family is lucky to just have the tree standing and a few ornaments this year. I'm ready to be done with this pregnancy...
I am so glad to hear you had a great Thanksgiving!! Just think- not too much longer and you will be home for Christmas!
You look so pretty in the Thanksgiving picture. I just put that centerpiece from Jill's wedding up as a decoration at mom's house. I like your tree too! It is so festive and cute. And where did you get those fabulous snowflake placemats? I love!
Cute Christmas decor! I also love your tree. We have the fake one and it drives JD crazy. He thinks it's lame and we need to get a REAL one some day. Cute post about FIRSTS!
