We started getting ready for Christmas a little early this year :). The weekend before Thanksgiving we got out our tree and we let Emma get in on the decorating this year.
She was obsessed with the ornaments.
Moral of this story- I have never been more happy that I bought plastic ornaments three years ago by mistake :). If you have kids or you are going to have kids buy plastic ornaments for your tree. Then you don't have to worry about them wanting to "help". I have put away my pink and red glass bulbs for the foreseeable future ;).
She was so cute even placing some of the ornaments on the tree.
We decided to put up our smaller tree this year- it is such a better fit for the space then our 9 foot tree that touches the ceiling. We have so many gold and silver ornaments that it looks so full along with a few "E's" sprinkled in there.
After we put it up, for the life of us, we could not find our tree topper- so off to Target we went where I found a wreath that I had to have.
And a tree skirt that I am hoping to score on clearance after the holidays :). I think it will go so much better with our tree (sorry, the price references are for me- not the blog!).
We came home and put the new tree topper on, the wreath up and decided it was time to light the fire. Emma loves the fire. She loved watching Wes get it lit (now we have the remote control working, which she is amazed by!).
After we came home from Port Aransas- we put the outside decorations up. Meet our snow family.
Emma was very scared of them at first. But I have convinced her that it is appropriate to wave to them every time we come up our driveway and say Hi, Frosty :). Not pictured is also our Santa that is hanging from our bedroom window :).
While we were going to Port A- my mother-in-law knitted us the most beautiful stockings.
I mean really- they are so gorgeous and just what I pictured. The grey and cream stripes are for the girls. The navy blue and cream stripes are for the guys. And Bailey has paw prints on his stocking. So stinkin' adorable.

We don't do much other inside Christmas decorating- other than our annual Gingerbread house (more to come on this).
Those stockings are amazing!!!
