It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas (2011 Edition)

I know I owe details on our first Thanksgiving in the new house...I'm going to recap that later in the weekend. But I couldn't help sharing a few pics of our new house all Christmas-y.

We, of course, went with a real tree again this year (another balsam fir, but this year's is a bit taller and a bit wider).

And from another angle....

But we also added some outdoor decorations into the mix! Check out my shiny new wreath (artificial so it will be a staple holiday decoration for years to come) and fun lit trees (courtesy of my parents' basement):

We also have some lit garland across the railing of our roof top terrace (I don't have a good picture of that yet).

I love Christmas decorations! And they've definitely been a bright spot in an otherwise long and dreary week.
