We were able to spend Thanksgiving with my parents this year, since they only live an hour away. We did a lot of eating, relaxing and playing some mean games of Uno. Darren was able to play football with my brothers on Thanksgiving, and then spent the rest of our vacation extremely sore and feeling old.
He did feel well enough on Friday to help my dad get their Christmas tree out of the shed and put up in the living room. I sorted through all of the ornaments and found the few that I knew were mine and brought them back up with us on Sunday. We then promptly got our little tree out and put all of them up. It was so fun to decorate our apartment and make it look all festive.
Yesterday, after running a few errands in the morning, I pulled out a few projects that I started last year in Idaho, but never quite finished. First to finish, our Cinnamon Ornaments! I pulled out some puff paint and added a little color to these wonderful smelling tree toppers.
Here's a photo of them hung up on our little Charlie Brown tree...
Don't mind the birthday presents under the tree...Darren's turns 28 9 days before Christmas!
Next on the to-do list was to hang the wreath I made last year, and then promptly put in a closet. I LOVE how it looks on our front door!
I loved putting everything up and can't wait to start all of our advent calendars on Thursday. Especially since we just got a new one in the mail today from Darren's mom!
I LOVE this time of year too! Did you know I made a wreath just like that three years ago??!! Mine is all silver and gold with a big red bow and I have to agree, it's one of my favorite decorations! It makes me so happy every time I see it!! LOVE all your crafts!!
