It's that time again! Time to decorate for Christmas! Our first step is always the tree. Each of the kids gets a new ornament every year and so we each get our stash of ornaments and take turns placing them on the tree talking about where we got the ornaments. The plan is for them to have at least 18 by the time they leave the house and decorate their own trees. And of course we have the kids pose with the tree every year. This year we even have an new addition, Ms. Alaska! Who needed a little coaxing to hold still. She was in the middle of one of her crack moments and didn't want to sit still at all!
Then of course we head outside and get to work. This year we were able to go and get a couple fun things for outside. Nothing to exciting but it was still fun to put them up. We found some cute icemen and some pretty trees that could go on our walkway. Of course with the ground frozen solid we had to rearrange some snow for them to have something to stick to but we know how to improvise and made it work!
We weren't able to do much but managed to light up the front porch with white and blue snowflakes and stars. It was so nice to have the manchild home to help me with this. We always work so well together.
The king of the Christmas Decor!!
For most people the experience of decorating the outside of their home requires a ladder and some extension cords. For us, it took 3 layers, plus snow gear and hand warmers. It was a sweltering -15 while we worked and I can't say as there is a sexier couple out there!!
