The Christmas season is upon us. 

Well at least at the Bouwman house it is.

Mike and I went to the Niverville MCC today, and bought a christmas tree!

We originally wanted to chop down a real one, but when we saw a $30 artificial tree, we decided it would be easier, and went with that. My sister gave us a bunch of lights, and my aunt gave us a bunch of adorable christmas ornaments. 

We also bought more ornaments and a few decorations at the thrift store. 

Spent a lot more than we thought we would!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm usually one of those people who will not allow myself to listen to christmas music, or put up christmas decorations until December 1st. 

But this is mine and Mike's first christmas together, and it just seems right to make it last as long as possible.

So this afternoon was spent decorating for Christmas. 

And yes, we did have christmas music blaring!
