If I had blogged on Christmas day, this is what I would have posted!
The song is sung by Jill Phillips on Andrew Peterson’s Behold the Lamb of God album, and the video is from The Nativity Story.
Our Stockings Are Hung by the Chimney with Care…
Last week we received a package in the mail from my family with these beautiful stockings that my mom hand-crafted for us! The photos really don’t do them justice… they are so gorgeous! The package also included an “Our First Christmas” ornament with our wedding picture in it.
Last night Tad and I made a gingerbread house to test out a royal icing recipe I found here. It turned out well (i.e. did not collapse) and the frosting held fantastically! (The point here was to test the strength of this icing, not to create a Southern Living-esque decorated masterpiece, haha.)
This morning after church Andrea took a picture of us by one of the Christmon trees.
Thought it turned out cute! And, speaking of church, check out our new website!
O Christmas Tree
This week Tad and I finally put up our Christmas tree! We love how cute our little tree is. We also got a bunch of wrapping done AND mailed out our Christmas cards!
Mom made us an adorable little bird hanging decoration for Christmas. Here it is, looking at our tree.
We are so excited to be spending our first Christmas together.
