My theme this year was simple… we have a whole closet dedicated to Christmas decorations and we only put out a few choice ones. I love how simple it is and how beautiful.
No train this year… my idea. The kids rebelled a little, but quickly forgot about it.
My little boot tree for my desk.
The reason for the season.
Our bit of fun. Mom got me this years ago and he is still hanging in there. He does spend most of Christmas deflated on the ground by Spencer’s room, but ever now and then the kids will plug him in and beat him up a bit.
I think this was his first year with us. A little trip down memory lane with this cute little girl. Taken 12/8/2005- the year Tyler was born.
Our family room little tree and stockings etc. On the mantle- too small to see from here is my collection of nativities. I keep getting small ones as gifts each year and so I put them on display in one place this year. The gifts under the tree downstairs holds our advent- a Christmas book each day of December. We are also doing a Jesus Chain in the upstairs living room- learning a story of Jesus each day of December. (Well to be honest that one started on like the 5th!)
My favorite little snowman. Elaine made this for me one year.
The pizza the kids and I made for dinner the night we decorated.
I also have been busy making batch after batch of this:
Homemade caramel corn. We packaged it like this for teachers this year. We’ll also do some more this week for neighbors. We have 17 teachers this year so it was a LOT of popcorn. I think when all was said and done I made 14 quarts of popcorn. (Spencer’s IEP team is 14 people alone!) We had to eat some too of course.
