Ethan was a big help in decorating the Christmas Tree this year. He liked handing us the balls and thought that the ‘balls’ should be kicked! Too cute!
My deals I tell you! The star is from a garage sale this summer for 25 cents, I got the metal tree from Walmart for around $3, the Noel sign I picked up from Winners on clearance last year for $1 and all the other stuff are things that I’ve had for awhile or repurposed for decorations. The pearls are a necklace I bought from Reitmans last year for $1.99 a string…Love the cookbook, it has great cake and cupcake recipes in it, I want to try these snowmen!
While I love my blue and silver decorations I also love the look of a more natural themed Christmas…pincones, berries, poinsetta, wicker wreaths…So I decorate the rest of the house with this stuff. Next year we are planning on getting a real tree for the basement and having two trees. The one upstairs will be my decorated ‘nice’ tree and downstairs will be our Family tree with all my family ornaments and quirky stuff. We spend most of our time in the basement now so it makes sense to have a second tree! Well truthfully it is a compromise…Randy wants a real tree in the house and I want a pretty tree; so we just decided we could both have what we wanted this way.
We do need to get better with our outside decorations though…we only have one lonely string of lights. I’m going to keep my eyes peeled at work for clearance yard decorations in January, I might be able to scoop up a deal!
Anyhow, hope you enjoyed the sneak peek into our Christmas!
