Decorations too!

Stairs are decorated, snowflake window covers for the door and the
tree up in the nook that you can see from the road.

Trees up!

We put up our 7' tree and it looked puny in the new house. Quick trip
to Lowes 50% off sale and a new 9' looks perfect and we could finally
use all of our ornaments.

Tree is up
