If there's one thing I've learned over the last 6 years, it's that my husband LOVES Christmas.
He grew up in a house that was completely re-decorated for the Christmas season. His Mom turns their home into a Winter Wonderland. We all love going over there at Christmas because their house is so cozy and beautiful with the spirit of Christmas oozing from it.
So each year we attempt to have our house a little closer to the Griswalds, and I must say, this year we are coming pretty close.
He started with the lights on the house last week. Not only did he put up ours, he put up lights for 2 of our friends in the neighborhood too. He wants our street to be all lite up and he didn't care what measures he had to take to achieve that. What a guy!
Then came the house. Here are a few shots:

So as you can see, we have gone a little overboard on the decor, but the fact that my husband loves it so much and has such a strong desire to have our home somewhat resemble the one he grew up in, makes it all okay.
And I have to admit. . . I kinda like living in a winter wonderland too!

well heck, atleast you have put it all up!!! I am still looking at the boxes and thinking... when should I do this? Your house does look warm and cozy!!!
It looks beautiful! I'm glad you live in a winter wonderland!
How great that you have a hubby that loves the winter wonderland look. It so helps the kids to get ready for Christmas and builds the excitement. The smells of cookies baking and the Christmas decorations just give us the special feeling and helps us know that the Savior is near.
Your winter wonderland looks fabulous!! We are still getting into the groove and coming out of the shock from traveling for Thanksgiving---so we will finally get our decorations up tomorrow--at least that is the plan!! Gotta love Christmas! Will you guys be around for Christmas? We are coming up on the 20th--27th! We would love to see you!
