It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

Christmas decorating came early at our house this year--and by early, I mean before Thanksgiving. Thats right--with the snow so peacefully falling on Monday, we couldn't resist the urge to pull out our Christmas decorations. Besides, since we're going to be gone for almost 2 weeks over the holidays, we figured the sooner we put them up, the more time we have to enjoy them. So here is the Fogde Household all ready for Christmas :)

This year, we also decided to invest in an artifical tree. We thought it would be a little silly (as much as we love Christmas trees) to get a real one that would just die while we were gone. So, while we don't have the smell of Christmas trees in our house, it still feels very much like Christas :)
