Bring on the decorating!!

My favorite season has officially begun!! I can't belive its this time of year again already! We had a good thanksgiving with my Mom, Dad and sisters. We ate lots of great food and tried out some new recipes this year! I've gotten really into the food network and love Paula Deen, Barefoot Contessa, just to name a few. I tried 2 Paula Deen recipes that turned out great! One was sweet potato ball, and the other was applesauce pumpkin pie. Let me know if you want either recipe, they were so good. If I knew more about how to post, I could put the links on here for you! Maybe I'll try later on :)
I've included some pics from Thanksgiving day, and some before and after shots of our Christmas decorations. Let the Christmas shopping begin!!

Lucy loves sitting under the tree! She looks a little bit evil in this picture tho.
