Before Christmas Ends

I feel like I missed out on Christmas just a tad so I took some photos before taking everything down.

I've had the same Christmas wreath for years and years and it looked so shabby that I had to take action. I made this one up and really ended up liking it. It fits my white and teal and sparkly winter theme much better than the more traditional wreath I used to have.

I wasn't sure if the boys would want the Little People nativity put out and they were both astounded when I asked them. They maybe be 13 and 10, but they LOVE the nativity. Despite the fact that it takes up a ton of room, I wasn't about to talk them out of displaying the set. I'm just so glad they still find joy in having it out.

Once again, I collected Christmas ornaments from the various places we visited on our travels and it was so enjoyable to look at everything as I decorated the tree.

I really wanted to get some pictures of the boys with their favorite gifts, but I just never got around to it. Oh well. There's always next year!
