Wreath

For our Friday night plans this week, we decided to gather up the scraps from our Christmastree and attempt at making a wreath and a bough to go over the top of the front door. I was pretty proud with the way it turned out. Although I can't give myself full credit, as Mike helped a lot too.

As you can see, it tended to sag a lot at first. It took A LOT of wire to get that sucker to be tight.
Now we don't have to be the only 'bah humbug' house on the street. We finally have something festive to put up on the outside. Because this is our first Christmas in a house, we're lacking in the Christmas lights department. Maybe next year, after I buy some 1/2 off at Wal Mart on the 26th of December.

My other bible.
