First Smith Christmas

Yesterday we celebrated our 6 month anniversary and we're so happy that we made it this far without killing anyone. It has been great so far and we're looking forward to the next 6 months, especially since it starts with our first Christmas as a family.

Scott was officially welcomed to the family with a traditional "Made with Love by Grandma Riner" stocking!

Yes, that baby is completely cross-stiched from calf to toe. Thanks Grandma, we love it! Since we don't have a fireplace, our kitchen wall will just have to do this year.

Our next step was to get a tree, and again, our space is limited here so we had to make do with this baby, which Scott is strapping to the roof of the car because it is just so enormous.

Is that the cutest thing you ever saw? Now getting the tree was the easy part. Decorating it, not so much.

Let's just say we're not the most spatially-oriented people. I added some candy canes to try and help it a little but I'm not sure if it hepled it or made it worse.

Ok, I was wrong. That tree skirt has to be the cutest thing you ever saw. Here are our first Christmas picutres together, complete with cheesy poses.


Look at it this way, we can only improve.

I laugh so hard when I see the picture of Scott "tying" the tree to the roof of the car. Hysterical!
