I spent all day yesterday decking out my home in Christmas cheer! I watched Elf for the first time this season and planned out which Christmas cookies we are making this year.
It will be weird because the last time I'm leaving the general area is for Thanksgiving--after that my OB recommends no travel. So my family is coming to us on Christmas Eve and DH and I will be alone at our house on Christmas, which will be weird! (Of course, this is all barring LO coming before then/around then.)

I got so much Christmas prep done this weekend! We finished decorating the tree, I wrapped some gifts, convinced DH to put up the outdoor Lights, finished putting up lights indoors! I have a few more gifts to purchase and a bit if baking to do then I am Ready! Which is good because as of weds I'm technically full term (37 weeks)!
I love your whole mantle and tree right by it! We hang our stockings from the banister.
@failuretofly yay!!! Sounds like you got sooo much done and so much fun! I’m secretly doing more decor outside even though DH wants me to just be relaxing at this point but it’s all easy peasy work. Hehe I’m sure I’ll get a text in a few minutes him yelling at me from work because we have cameras outside and he can see me haha. Mmmm what are you baking ❤️

We are not doing any big Christmas decorating, but we will hang the stockings this weekend. We were able to find a close match to ours and the dogs but not perfect match.

With LO due so close to Christmas, I have a couple of Christmas outfits, but I'm not buying anything super fancy or expensive. Especially since she might not really have a chance to wear it and there is a decent chance Xmas will just be the 3 of us. There will be plenty of other times to put her in fancy dresses.

Then my second favorite decoration is the hung stockings. They are Lands End embroidered stockings, which are very well priced at $30 each and really high quality. We started 6 years ago with the first 3, then added each one as we had each baby... So it's been fun to see it grow over the years.
We added the baby's this year, and since he's our 4th and last, it's been sweet to see our complete family all displayed.
IM SO EFFING EXCITED FOR FRIDAY!!!! We’re going to deck the freaking halls and Christmas my house OUT. The only thing missing will be my regular bottle of champagne that I drink throughout the day lol.
@breezybee I can’t WAIT to see pictures!!!!
@eazybreezy225 Love your stockings, so beautiful xo!
We got names embroidered on them, so I hope we don't change our mind about what to name LO when we meet her, ha!
Got my stockings up now that we know who all is coming for Christmas
The second one is my favorite. I love chotchki ornaments that we’ve collected over the years. Ugh. Christmas makes me so happy!!!
I love that we’ve hung the girls’ stockings
