It’s beginning to look….

a lot like Christmas! We’ve been making it merry around here the past two weeks! I actually had all the inside decorations up right before we left for the mountains for Thanksgiving. I knew time was going to get short when we got back so I was happy to come home to a decorated house! We moved into this house December 15 of last year and didn’t really decorate so it’s been fun this year finding new places for everything. I did decorate our banister this year and love it!

and you know I LOVE having FIVE stockings to hang this year!

We got our tree the week after Thanksgiving. We were hoping to have a family outing to get it, but with rain coming and everyone busy, Maxwell and I just decided to stop off after school one day and pick one out. My helper chose the best one! Robert and I almost killed ourselves trying to get it in the stand and up in the house that night but, we got it in. (note to self – throw away that terrible 4 screw stand and stick with the cheapy one!)

We finally got it decorated and I think it’s the best one yet!  🙂

We also got some more wreaths for outside so there’s a wreath for every window!

We also have bows galore and a fancy mailbox all thanks to Susan!

I got the lighted garland up – and had a good helper for that too!  🙂

I just love Christmas and how full the house feels with joy and anticipation!

Ho Ho Ho!
