We just finished decorating ours today. My kids were very excited! Next my husband is going to hang up the lights outside in the morning.

My girls helped to decorate this year. Going to hire a local kid to help with the outside lights.

Just finished ours! And have all our lights hung outside and all decorations in the house up! My favorite time of the year. Now we just need the snow...can't believe it's almost December and we still have green grass in central wisconsin.

@SU1989 how awesome. We live in southern Cali so no snow here . Lol the leaves barely started changing colors this month.

Yeah we have had a super warm fall, it's been a weird year for weather here. It is finally going below freezing! I'm fine with that for now, I just want snow for Christmas cause to me Christmas is not the same without snow! It's so beautiful!

Last year was my first year living in snow, since that's where we are from too (well, I'm farther north) and it was horrid. Now that I'm "experienced" I am so excited for the snow! According to the farmers almanac MD is in for a VERY white Christmas! It was 68 today for some odd reason and I was sweating so bad ..

@thisusername my husband is from Brooklyn and he misses the snow. I have never experienced leaving in a place where it snows. I would be excited for snow too.
@SU1989 my husband said the exact same thing.

Just take a trip up to mount Lassen! That's what we used to do.

Finished our indoor decorations today! Now I'm relaxing by the fire with my feet up, enjoying the view. Wish I was also enjoying a nice vino, but salted caramel hot chocolate will have to do.

I have all my decorations up except for the tree

I had intended to put my tree up yesterday, but I forgot that I was going bridal gown shopping for a wedding I'm in next year. We went to a place 1.5 hours away and also ate lunch so I was gone from 11-8. Then we had friendsgiving so I didn't get home until 9 at which point I went to bed.

Love putting up the Christmas tree. Please disregard the toddler mess... it was 7 am and my son and I had already been up since 5.

@SoSweetTea1124 if that's considered a mess, where do I sign up!?

SoSweetTea1124

@brushesnbrunch I left it there from the night before and that is not something that I usually do, it pains me to see crap all over the place.... I have a little bit of OCD. Also, the fact that the tree is off center in the window is making me itch!

Everyone's posting pictures of their Christmas tree and I'm over here like...

But if you don't know where that tree is from I'm pretty sure you didn't have a childhood.

DH and I got our tree put up last night! I love this time of year. At first I wasn't in the mood to decorate the rest of the house, but putting up the tree put me in the Christmas mood and now my house is all pretty too!

I love our tree and decor. Honestly, pic from last year because I haven't gotten the motivation to put it all up yet lol baby shower on Saturday so Sunday is the day, ladies!

@MaybeMab love the pink and white!

Enjoying my last "perfect" tree.. For the next few years the tree will have to be baby/toddler proof and then will be covered in macaroni art!

We got a live action ornament ...

Life is Exciting

I can't wait! 

We're going out to pick our tree out this weekend. We're making it a full-on holiday weekend. 

We're taking our 2 year old to the town holiday stroll on Saturday (they're going to have reindeer that the kids can ride.  He's going to love it) and the local airport is having Santa arrive by helicopter on Sunday.  My toddler is obsessed with helicopters and airplanes, so this should be a real treat. 

Somewhere in there, we're going to pick out and decorate our tree, which he's really excited to help do (I'll have to set aside a box of non-breakable ornaments for him to put on the bottom branches of the tree).

My 2 year old was finally able to "help " repeatedly since she keeps taking stuff off and putting it back on lol
