The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

This year we just couldn't help getting in the Christmas Spirit a little earlier than usual. Bryce has been so excited about everything. Anytime we go into a store or drive down the street he points out all of the Christmas décor and items. We decided to pull out the Christmas totes and getting our decorating done. I think it's one of the first times we have had the inside and outside of the house decorated before Thanksgiving. In fact we even got our tree before Thanksgiving.
Landon and the kids hung the lights on the house. Bryce would not be left out from a trip to the roof.
Bryce really wanted a blow up Christmas Darth Vader for our yard; it was a little bit more than I wanted to spend. I bought him a little blow up snow man instead and I think he was pretty happy with it.


 We opted to just go to Lowes and buy our tree this year instead of cutting one down. Bryce kept telling us he wanted a little baby tree. He was not happy with any of the trees we were showing him. He walked down an aisle and a few minutes later came running back to us carrying a little Christmas tree. It was the only one he wanted to buy. I asked him if he wanted to spend his own money on it and he said yes. So we ended up buying it along with our other tree.

 
We "flocked" the Christmas tree. Or so we tried the stuff we bought turned out to be a snow paint type spray not actual flock. It still turned out pretty good. You can tell the spots where the kids bump into it a lot because those branches are losing their "snow", but it was fun to try.
The morning after setting up all the Christmas decorations I came into the kitchen to find Bryce and Chloe in their Christmas sweaters sitting up to the counter with a snowman having breakfast.
