we are fans of decorating for christmas after thanksgiving and we attempt to do it after we celebrate olive’s birthday.
olive cracks me up…she wanted to pick out an outfit to decorate in {while i am and all of us are in pj’s…ok, ellie wanted to wear a dress too}. she chose her springtime ballet recital outfit – so fancy!
hc lugged all the boxes of decorations up and put our tree together. we then we pulled out the ornament box and proceeded to decorate the tree. the girls ohhh’d and ahhh’d over all the ornaments. ellie proceeded to break two glass ornaments! not good. we were so worried that we might have left shards of glass behind!! the second ornament she broke right by her feet!!! good thing grace was fast acting – she snatched ellie off the floor in .5 seconds! thank you grace!!
after we decorated the tree…hc and olive attempted to put up the star but with us having a new big and tall tree this year…it was a bit difficult, but they tried!
once the tree was done, the girls took a break and hc and i continued to decorate the rest of the house. man, it’s exhausting to decorate! i don’t know if i will even attempt this when i get older…i will be too tired! haha!
well, after much time and trips to home depot for lots of fresh pine garland and nubs, we dressed our home in love and festiveness!
[olive called my pajama’s bacon pj’s! hahaha!]
[she loves the candy canes, gifts from matt’s mom]

[she broke this glass ornament and one other…oy, it was such a disaster! no one wants shards of glass on your floor!]
[true disheveled pj time]
[attempting a star topper but the tree was too tall!]
