4 Trips to Wal-mart, 24 Strands of Lights & 48 Hours Later...She Is UP!

Wanna see what
2,400 FREAKING LIGHTS 
 looks like??
(Horrible idea on my part...by the way)

Our very first Kissmas Tree!


 
 


Honeymoon Ornament :)
 
 


Surely you didn't think I would omit putting any pink on my tree, did you??!!
Wedding Invitation Ornament

And because Beau is just thrilled to have pink, fluffy flamingos hanging from our tree...

This tree was a BIG deal...to me, anyways! 

It's mine and Beau's first Christmas together so I wanted to make it a BIG deal and make sure we had all the time in the world to enjoy our first tree together. This would explain why it's up before Thanksgiving and shamelessly...has been up for over 2 weeks now. 

I'll just consider myself ahead of the game. ;)

 ***

Not to mention, these little gems arrived yesterday & I am IN LOVE!

.
Once again, Shutterfly did not disappoint!

'Tis the season party people!

If I can get in the Christmas spirit with 80 degree weather and 100% humidity...
YOU CAN TOO!

    Love your cards and your tree looks gorgeous even if it is UP before Thanksgiving! Since it is your first Christmas together, I shall let that slide. I used Shutterfly last year and was very impressed.
