A New Tradition?

November 14, 2017

Happy Tuesday! I am going to be breaking one of my biggest rules that I have during the holidays! Deep breath…I’m going to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving (gasps)! I mean, the weekend before Thanksgiving is not too bad, right? I have seen people decorate right after Halloween! For years, I have refused to decorate until after Thanksgiving because let’s be honest it is becoming like the forgotten holiday that almost everyone rushes through so that we can get to Christmas.  I mean I love Christmas just like everyone else but Thanksgiving has a special place in my heart.

There is no pressure to give the best presents but most importantly because it is a time of reflection for me.  I get the opportunity to be thankful for all of life’s blessing with the people I love the most while stuffing my face! Haha.  However, I think with us moving into the townhouse, having a fireplace (first time ever for the kids) and me just being overly excited for this new adventure that I’m willing to break my own rule.  I feel horrible but I am just so excited! The kids are excited, well..mostly Dylan because Keira doesn’t even know what’s going on.

Here we are at Costco while searching for our tree. I made him take a picture because he’s getting too cool for pictures.

Trying on new things at Target!

We have searched far and wide and found our perfect tree which we plan on getting tonight! I can’t wait to share in future posts about how I am decorating our home for Christmas.  Stay tuned!

    We are a little over a month now of getting Keira off of the bottle! Woo hoo! I wanted to share some advice on how we we gave up the bottle, cold turkey.  I know it is scary and seems cruel to take away one of your child’s only piece of comfort since birth but […]
