Friday we entered into full-on holly jolly mode around here. Buddy arrived, all masked up for safety:
He also brought us Christmas masks to wear:
Following tradition, the teddy bear tree was the first decoration to go up:
Issa and I had great fun finding new ways to decorate since we have redone every major space in our home this year. We are loving having all of the Christmas toys displayed in our cubes:
Friday afternoon, we went to the fire station to get our tree:
Nana and Shannon went with us, and they chose this beast:
I got to drive that one home, and it was absolutely the most nerve-wracking drive of my life. Thankfully, it was tied on tight and we made it with no incident!
Because everyone needs a little extra holly jolly this year, we decided to take our light game up a level. It was a pretty easy decision because our old garland wouldn't light and the nutcracker's head fell off. Issa and Dad did most of the hanging:
The kids also got some tree climbing in:
But we love the end result:
We plan to leave the bulbs across the top up all year, and we have one more piece coming this week!
Yesterday, Issa and I spent most of the day creating Christmas gifts. We started with ornaments for my department:
The rest is top secret for now, though.
It was a lovely Thanksgiving break, and now we are all settling back into routines. We will sneak in a little holly jolly every day, though, and we are already looking forward to Christmas break!
