Christmas Decorations

Well, we finally have all our Christmas decorations up. It took us almost a week to get them all put up with everything else we had to get done. With our house all decorated, Christmas music playing all the time, and the cooler weather it is starting to really feel like Christmas. I am excited to enjoy this time of year, especially since I finished the Christmas cards and will be sending them out this week, have all of my shopping done, and the list of treats I am going to make ready for next Sunday. Hope you are all getting in the spirit too!
Our entry way

Our new stocking stand and the advent calendar and magnet board I made for this year

Our tree - we were excited that it looked so good since we bought it after Christmas last year and didn't know exactly what it would look like all lit up

The outstide of our house - Ryan did such a good job getting these up (probably since it was the third house he put lights up on this year)

Wow, you guys do a great job! And I can't wait to see your Christmas card! Can I get a sneak preview? (since it will be awhile before it gets here)

Everything looks really good. I'm glad Ryan got to practice on our house first, but the one strand of lights went out again. Could he come back and fix them?? I love the bench you found.

Everything in its place, what a perfectionist!

You're pregnant?!! How fun! And boys are soooo cute. Your house looks so good. I keep trying to put up cute christmas stuff but the kids keep messing it all up. Enjoy your last Christmas with all your decorations and your tree looking so nice! Our blog is booradley001.blogspot.com.

Your house looks great! So are you really going to stick to your guns and have no homemade Christmas ornaments on it?

Sassy said...

It looks beautiful...you did awesome! Enjoy it now...the kids when they come have their own idea on how things should look!!!! I ♥ the bench!

No handmade ornaments for my big tree. I do laugh every year when I get out the Christmas stuff and see all the ornaments we made at BYU (we were so fun!). Ryan always wants to put them up, but he'll have to get his own little tree and put it somewhere else to use them!

This is Christy's dorky half- Dev. Looks like your house is all ready to go. I saw that you said it was getting cold... is it like 80 degrees? Better get out the sweaters. And don't let your mom and her sisters come to visit. They will freeze! :)
