Our First Christmas Tree

This post is long overdue, but I'm finally posting some pictures of our Christmas tree! Sean and I put up and decorated our tree on December 4th. We borrowed a fake tree from his parents for this year. I prefer a real tree, mainly because of the smell...:) but this tree is very pretty. Sean has a bunch of his ornaments from when he was growing up, and we got some of his great grandmother's ornaments as well. They are right up my alley! Vintage/homemade/awesome! It was such a fun time to decorate our first Christmas tree together in our home. We didn't have a tree last year because we moved right around Christmas. I'm so glad we get to have one this year!

Here are some pictures of my favorite ornaments :)











































This was in a box of decorations from Sean's grandmother. We loved it and decided to hang in on our door! Now we're the most festive apartment on our floor...:) haha!





Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

  1. Such a perfect Christmas tree!! I'm quite the sucker for handmade and vintage ornaments. I have so many of my grandmother's ornaments as well and they are truly the best. I have yet to put my tree up...moving and such has me way behind. I especially love that angel...I swear my grandmother had the same one at one point!!
