Christmas!
We've hosted several parties this year...as well as more family gatherings to come...so I was a little more motivated to decorate....but it was fun.... in fact I had to force myself to stop(: Another thing I enjoyed about this year is actually remembering why I am doing it- (because I had a certain 3 yr old asking me about it! fun to explain to him that we are decorating for the best birthday party of the year!)
Ryder has a "fun tree" in his room....so I am the boring mom that does a dressy tree
Advent Calendar...Ryder (3 1/2) was the perfect age to start this. He LOVES it...such a fun thing to look forward to every morning and I love how it has helped me anticipate Christmas too. I saw the stick and twine idea in a magazine and I used these little mini envelopes from Hobby Lobby (filled with cards that have a verse and a question that I printed from my friend
Rachels blog
Alabama Power had to cut tons of trees down in our neighborhood because they were overtaking the power lines behind our house....so when I saw them cutting down one of our magnolias I gave strict orders to save all the branches for me(: Which led to 7 magnolia wreaths and magnolia trimmings all over our house (what's that saying..."too much of a good thing....." I think I know where that comes from now. oops)
