Decking Our Halls…

This will prob­a­bly be the last year that we’ll be in our lit­tle house for the Hol­i­days (more to come on that soon I’m hop­ing!)  So, it was very bit­ter­sweet dig­ging out all of our Christ­mas stuff.  We are tak­ing it easy this year and I’m not putting up my Christ­mas in the City vil­lage, but it will def­i­nitely be up in our new house next year.   Tony was VERY happy to be dig­ging every­thing out of the crawl space for the LAST time.  He only said maybe 15 curse words this year instead of the usual 50 or so

Tyson was AWESOME at dec­o­rat­ing the tree this year.  As you may recall last year, he con­cen­trated the major­ity of the bulbs in ONE spot on the tree.  But this year, he was a dec­o­rat­ing rock star and even wanted to put the star on the top on (which I tried to let him help with, but it’s Swarovski, man!)

Here’s Tyson hard at work and VERy focused

And since his Daddy was mak­ing weird faces and poses for the cam­era, guess who else had to do it??!

And I’m SO proud of myself for tak­ing all of these with­out any flash (yay, me!)

More focus and concentration…

That smile…and my attempt at get­ting some Xmas tree bokeh!

What the Princess thinks of our Xmas tree…let’s pray she doesn’t start crawl­ing until after it’s all down because then I think she’ll LOVE it!

And I’m in LOVE with our new stock­ings that I splurged on this year.  And it was awe­some to finally be able to use the 5th stock­ing holder that I’ve had for the last 5 years

Had SO much fun tak­ing this pic, I’ve always wanted to get one with the “glow” of the Christ­mas Tree.  It took my tri­pod and lots of test shots, but I LOVE it!

It’s been so awe­some get­ting these annual orna­ments, some­day I’ll have a whole tree full I hope!
