It's the Holiday Season

 

"Happy Holiday!
Happy Holiday!
While the merry bells keep ringing,
May your every wish come true..."

This song has been stuck in my head all day!

But, that's probably because I have been playing Christmas music all day,

buying decorations and hanging them all over the house!

"Oh what fun it is to...

be in the Christmas spirit!"

 

& I mean I really decorated all over!

Bathrooms included of course :)

 

Hobby Lobby and I spent more time together today

than most of my relationships have lasted.

SERIOUSLY...

& I think Lennon loved it more than I did.

which is a complete shock because my

ULTIMATE FAVORITE HOLIDAY

is CHRISTMAS!

 

Lennon picked out an ornament for the tree,

of course it was a choo-choo!

She even picked out her very own little tree!

I decorated it for her today

and it even has its own little presents under it!

 

 

My "let's run to hob-lob real quick" trip turned into over an hour of shopping!

Almost $100 later... I got EVERYTHING I NEEDED.

 

 

This is my favorite! Sparkle garland over my soon to be last name.

I love it!

 

 

This is Miss Lennon's little tree. I decorated it and put her presents under it!

All of which she picked out herself at the store.

She had so much fun with it

 

 

Of Course...

I had to find something to put in our glass bowl and wine bottle.

It's become more of a tradition than anything else!

I love making something new with every season for my center piece on our kitchen table.

After all, the kitchen is the heart of the home, right?

 

 

Then I found a wreath that was on sale super cheap...

So I bought it plain and decorated it myself!

I still have to find a "K" ornament to hang in the middle,

but I am waiting until I find the perfect one!

 

Lights in the window...

Too much?

... NAH.

 

Dan was awestruck when he came home from work

and saw that I was not only decorating the ENTIRE house

but I was hanging lights in our windows for our neighbors to see...

At first he wasn't too thrilled but now that our tree is up,

it matches our window...

and our house is feeling a lot more like Christmas,

the Christmas spirit is sinking in.

 

We love it!

 

 

Lennon loved taking all of the ornaments out of the box and handing them to us!

She helped put them on the tree and even found these reindeer antlers to wear.

 

The night is young, our house is decorated, Lennon is in bed sound asleep and I am drinking a hot cup of Caramel Vanilla Crème Keurig.

 

Life is sweet

As I sit here and think,

many of our old friends are out partying,

drinking the night away and sleeping the day off tomorrow...

I realize that our life is perfect.

We have the perfect baby girl,

we have a warm home,

that is beautifully decorated

and we have eachother to cuddle with and drink

hot coffee with all night long!

 

Our idea of fun?

Let's brew some Keurig, make our table arrangements,

get some wedding stuff taken care of...

sit on the opposite sides of the couch from eachother,

while I blog and he chats with the cable guys to get some TV, yo.
