It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ... and that's the way we LOVE it around here!
We held Kendall off of actually decorating until Thanksgiving weekend ... and then it was full steam ahead! (I believe if it was up to her, the whole world would have Christmas decorations and lights up all year round.) After we got Kendall's pink tree up for her room, we moved onto the rest of the house ... inside & out!
Somehow we never got an outdoor picture of our house this year, but Daddy, once again, did a fabulous job ... outlining our entire house & walkway in (new this year) white LED lights. We wrapped our 4 cedar pillars on our front porch with white lights & garland and hung an evergreen wreath with a big red bow in each outside window. Putting up 47 strands of lights is definitely quite an undertaking for Ash ... an all-day task ... but we love it & appreciate Daddy's willingness to do it each year to please his girls!
Last year our poor living room Christmas tree (that we've had for 9 years, since our 1st married Christmas) finally gave out on us ... really, it was so bad, we shouldn't have even put it up as 3 out of the 5 sections of lights were dead ... so this year, we got a new pre-lit tree. We finally found one we liked that fit in our space at one of my most favorite stores, Hobby Lobby.

Happy Decorating!
