A couple weekends ago, after we all gained a few pounds from Thanksgiving we geared up for Christmas. The inside of the house is nicely decked out...not too over done. The outside however, not so much. The weather has NOT been on our side. More on that to come.
We put up, fluffed and decorated our new/used artificial tree. Now a few years back, I decided I would NEVER have a fake tree again. I HATE fluffing. However, after the constant mess of pine needles on the floor and trying to keep the thing alive for a month, it occured to me that an artificial tree just might be the way to go. So we did just that(thanks Lauren!). The tree looks beautiful. I love getting to go thru the ornaments every year and see the ones the kids have made over the years. I think we have a picture of Ethan on ornaments over the past 5 years. Going back to when he was 4 in Pre-K. Love them. We still have the ones we got when I was pregnant with Ethan and Corbin. Corbin, the little darling, wanted to take all HISornaments to his room. Taya tried to eat a couple made of gingerbread. In her defense, they do look pretty tastey. The boys have since the tree went up, brought the new ornaments home from school and added to our growing collection. I am SO excited. This is the first year little miss tot will make an ornament and put on the tree. She can't wait.
The stockings are hung on the shelf with care...One for each of us plus the dog, Maci. However we may need to add 3 more since Maci has given birth to 3 puppies over the weekend ;-)
For the first time, we decided to get the kids their own trees...for their room(thanks mema). The boys is red and gold... They have stockings in there too.
Taya's tree is purple and gold. Also with a stocking to match.
The boys(Corbin mainly) wanted to make sure the stockings in their rooms get filled on Christmas eve as well(of course-he makes me smile).
