The day after Thanksgiving has become my official "get ready for Christmas" day. Everything gets pulled out and we start putting it all up. It takes awhile to get it all up but I love how it looks so I like to do it as early as possible so I can enjoy it for as long as possible.
Each year I try and change things up a little bit, to keep it interesting. This year I changed up my front porch a bit. I added large ornaments instead of bows to the greenery.
This year I had a big helper. Wyatt REALLY wanted to be involved in it all.
Last year we added this "forever" tree to the family room. I always felt that we needed a little bit more in this room and I have loved it. It's where all the boys have their homemade ornaments that they've made over the years. I don't have a topper for it so this year I added a couple Elves feet.
Not much has changed in this room over the years. I try to keep it simple and colorful.
Wyatt REALLY wanted to put up all the nutcrackers. And truth be told, that's all he wanted to put out. So after he hung up his stocking, we focused on the placement of the Nutcrackers.
Here are just some random photos of the different parts of the room.
Wyatt did a pretty good job of putting the Nutcrackers out.
With the addition of the sofa table this Fall, I was able to add a few new things to the family/keeping room. Christmas tree candle holders!!
I love them.
Getting the boys to all look at me and smile at the same time is near impossible.
