It's been fun to see Carson finally starting to recognize Christmas trees everywhere and lights and just get excited about it. (although I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a clue about much except for christmas trees and lights) I'm not very crafty or very good about decorating any time of year - so Christmas is pretty slim in our house mostly b/c I'm either lazy or not good at knowing what to do with decorating. It took us a total of probably 30 min to decorate and that may or may not include setting up the tree. :(

Simple is the way!
Hopefully this year I can get some clearance items for next year and spice up our collection of decorations :)
It's an exciting time of year and I love all the celebration and excitement and merriment that comes with it. I love all the food making/eating too. I love the little bit of extra socialization too. I hope to pass on all this joy to my sons. :)
But also need to start implementing the meaning behind the season. What we are celebrating - the birth of our Savior who came in fulfillment of God's perfect plan, to save a wretched soul like me and make me and heir with him. I pray that one day my sons will know the truth of the Gospel and accept it.

I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE A FIREPLACE, TOO!!!! It's gorgeous! I'm totally jealous! {I have to hang my stockings on the wall...LOL...not sure how Santa can slide down our "wall"...LOL}
The tree always makes it look decorated enough - just with that! But I'm sure you will get more things over time and it won't be long until you have a lot of decorations! It looks really nice to me - and I LOVED seeing your house again!:-)
Decorating is so much fun! Glad you showed off your decorations! :)
