{It's beginning to look . . . }

A lot like Christmas around here!

We had a tradition (that I'm sure many of you share) of spending the day after Thanksgiving putting up all of our Christmas decorations. We don't add to the decor we already have . . . we completely remove all decorations not pertaining to Christmas and box them up to make room for the winter wonderland! It's madness . . . but we love it! 

Carrying up the tree!

Just to give you a little preview of what's to come . . . here are all the Christmas boxes!

The kids were such good helpers and they could hardly wait to decorate the tree!

Ayden even got to climb up the ladder and put the star on the top!

While the girls worked on putting the finishing touches inside. . . the boys headed outside to put up the lights! Logan got really into it this year and ended up doing quite a bit more than we had last year.  I'm so glad he loves it though, he did such a great job!

And so . . . the finished product:

Like I said . . . it's a winter wonderland!
