We took off on a family adventure to get a tree! It was full of craziness from start to finish...and I will say I'm truly not sure I know how to do things any other way anymore!
These two yahoos, sang deck the halls and jingle bells while tossing my new jingle bell wreath holders around. Cooper staged more than one escape attempt but most importantly, we had a blast and were able to pick out a couple awesome evergreen wreaths and a perfect tree for our living room!! I love this time of year and the memories we are getting to make!
Owen could NOT wait to put the star on top...and the boys are starting to get the hang of the whole mess we make while decorating!! The lights, the special Christmas decor Mommy can't wait to dig out and put up. It was a up-past-bedtime festivity filled evening. And our living room is now beautiful and ready for the holidays!!
Something about this mantle filled with stockings made me get a little misty. It's funny...you know you have grown a family...but it feels like it's almost complete. Next year our middle spot will be filled and a whole wonderful new person to share this special time of year with! God is good!
This weekend we also threw together a gingerbread house...there was spilled candy, arguing over who got what candy to decorate with...and general chaos. But hey people...we put a house together...and it's still standing!
We have more fun festivities to come...santa visiting, Christmas light seeing, at least one Christmas craft and some fun cookie baking decorating. We are making memories this holiday season folks...by the truck load!!
