christmas with bebe & more turkey day pics

i'm not a christmas fanatic and don't usually get into holidays. for example: last year we bought a 3 ft tree and decorated it with one lonesome ornament. BUT this year i'm reforming my holiday ways and doin' it big for penelope!
yesterday we bought a tree and decorations, which i'm stoked about. tonight we'll decorate and drink a beer in lieu of hot chocolate. i can't wait to post pics of the finished product!

some of my fav ornaments

the gold speckled fabric is the tree skirt! so fab.
