Christmas 2007

Hi Everyone! I'm very new to all of this but I got a new camera (Nikon Coolpix S50) a few days before Christmas. I went outside and took a picture of our house and then one inside of our tree. The camera was set to AUTO outside (no flash) and to Museum (no flash)for the Tree. Should I have been doing something to improve these two pics or are they alright as they stand? Thanks! Mary Ann
