"Ora-Met" {3 f 3}

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!! My favorite time of the year! We decided last year to put up all Christmas decorations before Hudson's bday with the exception of the tree...well, you can see that lasted one year. I just couldn't wait any longer!
Sunday was decorating day! We headed to Lowe's for a tree...unfortunately, it was quite picked over. So, off to the "devil" {if you know anything about Kevin's job, you know Home Depot is in a 1st place dead-lock with WalMart in our family}...but they sure have pretty trees! It only took 3 trees & we had a winner. Once at home and inside, we realize it is the BIGGEST tree we've ever gotten...a good 9 feet! Woo Hoo...I love big trees with lots of {white} lights! After tackling the lights solo, we decide on festive hamburgers for dinner. After dinner we decorated! As I got out each ornament, Hudson took it over to the couch. He was such a big help & so cute...he kept saying "ora-met!" Hudson loved all the ornaments & made sure to tell us what it was and where to put it on the tree! Of course, every time he passes the tree he says "Tree!"..."Lights!"..."AUBIE!" {for the Aubie ornament}
Looking for the perfect tree
I wanted the mantel to look like the Southern Living at Home catalog...I think it's pretty close & was on a Hobby Lobby budget!!
