It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We decorated our tree today and finished putting up the rest of our Christmas decorations. I love decorating the tree. Steve did the lights this year, so that was nice. It's a little sparse at the top, but I don't mind. Steve was all about wrapping my presents and putting them under the tree as soon as we finished decorating. I thought it was cute. So we wrapped each other's presents to put under the tree.
I sewed our Christmas stockings a couple years ago. They came in a kit with everything included. I made Steve's first (the one on the left) and then I made mine. I totally got gypped - look at how much bigger his is than mine! It is so not fair.
The reason I made us our own stockings is because my mom had sewn all of my sisters their own stockings when they were kids (they were the same felt stocking kits that I had found at the store). Well, a few years ago, my mom finished Amy's stocking and I was still using "Baby's first Christmas," so I decided I'd make my own! I actually really enjoyed doing it!

My aunt Annette gave me this cute village a few years ago. I love it!
