We are pretty pleased with how they came out.

This year I decided to decorate outside the house as well. I thought I would start of simple before trying anything too ambitious…. plenty more years for that!

We drove out on Christmas Eve and returned back to Dover in the afternoon of Christmas Day. We woke up on Christmas Day to some fresh snowfall which made for some nice photo opportunities.

Here are some pictures from Christmas Day and a short video:

All we need now is to buy some presents to go underneath!

Our Christmas Eve meal was a delicious ham and potato dinner.

After eating we played monopoly until late. My canny ability to avoid landing on Park Place and Boardwalk kept me in the game a few hours more than I perhaps should have! It was easily the most fun monopoly game I have had.

The following morning we woke up and opened our presents around the tree. Meghan’s parents were very generous and we came away with lots of nice gifts.

After we had opened our gifts we made our way down to Boston to see the rest of Meghan’s family. We had a delightful Turkey and Lasagna dinner with the most delicious pumpkin pie dessert courtesy of Meghan’s sister.

After dinner we made our way home again and opened our gifts from each other.

Here are some of the many generous gifts I received over Christmas:

We bought it from Tuttles Farm just up the road and decorated it with ornaments from the Christmas Tree Store.

Here are some pictures I took last night:
