After we got back from getting our Christmas tree we got busy getting out our Christmas decorations. The girls (and I) climbed onto the back of the truck for a ride out to the barn.
Do you see all the crap in the back? That is ALL Christmas stuff!! (The truck isn't full, but it is still a crazy amount of stuff!) There was so much crap, I had to walk behind the truck on the way back!
The girls grabbed this sleigh bell thing and started playing reindeer and driver!
I got to work switching out my fall stuff for Christmas stuff. My wreath is pretty sad looking... especially after my fall wreath! Anyone have any suggestions for perking it up? It also looks really small compared to the fall one... can't do much about that though.
What do you think? Is the garland too much? I put it up, but haven't actually seen it from farther back yet. We still don't have porch stairs yet (not that they would do much good since that side of the house is gutted still!), so if I wanted to see it I would have had to go back into the old house, walk through the studs into the play room, move the drop cloth and plastic to the side so I could climb over the baby gate into the kitchen, go out into the garage go down the stairs and walk to the front of the house! I didn't really feel like doing all of that, and I forgot to today!
I don't think this is going to fit in my wreath box.
According to the box it can hold up to a 24" wreath. According to the tag on the grapevine it is a 24" wreath. Humm? I wonder if they make larger wreath boxes? I might be havin' to get me one of those!
See ALL these boxes?
And these too? This is all my Christmas crap! And you know what? MOST of it is just that, crap! I pulled out every Christmas box I had so I could organize them better and hopefully get rid of stuff too. I haven't had all my stuff out since we moved to the teeny tiny house, I can't believe how tacky my taste was before! Oh my!!
My fall stuff all packed up! Sniff, sniff.
What do I do with this? I used to put it out. I don't really do door hangers...
...and lets add the fact that Deric's mom made it for him and his EX-GIRLFRIEND! Umm, yeah! Would you put this out every year?! (Doesn't it look like the smudged name says Ben? Or is that just me?)
I would normally put out my Christmas Wreath candle. But the last time I had it burning in my bathroom someone came up to me and told me they thought the cat peed in there! After a lot of sniffing around we discovered the cat pee smell was my Christmas wreath candle! Any one want a candle?
Look! It is Santa and her Reindeer... now where are those sleigh bells?
When Brody woke up from his nap the kids all watched an Elmo Christmas movie. Brody sat there so sweetly with his hands in his lap, he really loves that little monster!
Growling Saying Cheese at me.

I always put the Christmas books away every year, the girls love the new Christmas books and are so excited to get them back!

That's all for now, I have to see if I can make some sort of miracle out of these tacky decorations!
Updated: Deric ran out (in the snow) to take a picture of the front of the house for me. What do we think?
Do we like the stuff on the door or is it too much with the other garland? They both have lights in them and hopefully Deric will get the electric out there in the next few days and we can turn them on. I plan on getting my mini trees back from my sister and those will go (with lights) on each side of the door too. I thought I had something else to put out there too, but I can't come up with it...

From the road I thought your house looked nice this morning.
i think i'd lose the garland around the door. i like the garland on the railing, though. that looks really nice. but especially if you're adding a tree on either side of the door - i'd lose the garland around the door.
love it. But if you add trees I'd lose the garland ~ care to drop it off at my house!? No, seriously. I was looking for some the other day. The only thing I'd do would be to add big red bows to the porch. Just a thought.
Now wouldn't it be fun to get a BIG OLE WREATH or Barn Star and stick it in the middle between the four windows on the addition!?
You can't find any garland at the stores? I do have red bows from our old house, I just wasn't feeling them. Not sure why, I haven't used them in a few years. Ohh, I love the star idea!! It really does need something! We really need landscaping... but that is down on the list. Hopefully someday! I am going to have to remember the star idea though, what size would I need??
