Christmas Eve

Gran and Jonathan came up from Knoxville on Christmas Eve and joined us in our festivities.  For our first Christmas Eve with the new screened in porch and deck, we had to make a fire and put our traditional Christmas Eve tree in it.  The fire was nice but probably unnecessary given the unseasonably warm temperatures we had this year.

 The living room decorated for Christmas Eve....this year, the tree took me 6 hours to put up and string with lights (does not include ornament time :)  On the up side, it had about 2,500 lights on it which made Emily happy!
