Mike and Kami Leib: Christmas 2010

We are so excited for our first Christmas! We got our Black Friday Deals, which was my first Black Friday excursion. We got up at 2:00 in the morning to go to Target, waited in line for an hour, but in the end, totally worth it!! We were able to get the big screen tv that Mike has been wanting so badly. And I have to admit that it is pretty epic!

We broke it in by watching Harry Potter, because Mike hadn't seen 5 or 6 and I want to see 7 so he had to catch up.

Then after Black Friday madness, we came home, slept for a few more hours and then Mike had to go to work. But as soon as he got home we started putting up Christmas. It was sooooo fun to decorate our house together.

This is part way decorated, popcorn and lights.

The finished Product! Or almost, the next day we realized that we forgot to put on the candy canes.

The completed tree, with presents underneath as well!

These are some of our other decorations.

This is a Nativity wall quilt I made with my mom and Grama a couple years ago.

In my family, we collect Nativities, this is one that I picked out for my mom and it has always been my favorite. You can't really see in the picture, but it has the Christmas scriptures on the figures, it's really pretty and unique. But, anyways, my mom was sweet enough to give it to us to start our collection.

These two are some that I painted, and they work quite well at framing the door to the kitchen.

We decided to save a little money and buy plain stockings and decorate them ourselves. It doubled as decor and spending some time together doing something fun. These are some of the coolest stockings I've ever seen!
