Christmas Duds

This will be the first Christmas that Byron and I can claim to be full-fledged, married adults. Before this year, we got away with never buying Christmas trees, ornaments, or our own stockings in our single lives.

So, this year it was time to bring out the Christmas duds. Thanks to a couple leftover Pottery Barn gift cards from the wedding, and a nice holiday sale at Hobby Lobby, our home took on a cheerful holiday look for our first official Christmas as the Kennedys.

We also went out on a limb and sprang for the LED lights for the house this year.

I opted out for a tree skirt, because I was amazed at how pricey they are. I rarely wear skirts, so why would I want to spend $80-$100 on one for the tree?
