TIS THE SEASON

YEAH !!!!!!!!!! I have all but my tree put up. We get a real tree every year. I was so excited to get this done. My husband thought I was crazy when I asked him to help me carry in our Christmas decor bins this morning. I chose today because I really do not have much time in the next two weeks to tackle this project, and why not get the most bang for your buck? They are only out for about 4 weeks as it is.

As I was going through my decorations I realized what a hodge podge collection I have. There is no real theme or continuity to it at all. I actually have a entire box of decorations to give away or send to the D. I.! I was so proud of myself for being able to part with some of it. Some things were gifts, but I just did not have a place for them or want to make a place for them. It makes me want to hit a boutique and start all over. I wish???? I do not have the budget for that. The funnest part of having all the fun decor out is my kids are so excited. Smiley was the cutest little bugger, wild eyed , pointing and grinning. I had to work quickly to keep his cute paws off of my snowman collection. One of my favorite things about Christmas is little children and the sheer innocent joy it brings them!!

I can't wait to see it all-
How are your kiddos doing with it all?
I am worried about Gigantor getting into all my stuff!
He was good last year, but is way more mischevious this year!!

I ALMOST started bringing the Christmas in, and putting the fall away, but just couldn't do it. I love your header, it's adorable!
