The House is Complete!

Last night we has a Christmas decorating extravaganza! We wrapped presents, made bows, decorated the tree, made cookies, and watched the Christmas carol. I think the best thing about this time of the year is the celebration that happens everyday! I am that person that would love it to be Christmas everyday!

Hubby’s Mom is such an amazing tree decorator and with her help, she helped us create the most beautiful Christmas tree. We are so blessed to have her here this week.

I love wrapping presents and I have always wanted to learn how to make the pretty big bows!

Hubby and I have a fun tradition. Every year we make each other a Christmas ornament to exchange on Christmas Eve. Here is the catch, we have to make them! It has become such a fun tradition and we always have so much fun putting them on the tree. Memories captured in a simple gift.

Today we are headed out to the outlet malls and playing in Palm Springs! It’s gonna be a good day ๐Ÿ™‚

Question: Do you buy a real tree every year or do you have a fake one?

Ours is fake (we got it from Costco 3 years ago) and we love it! It’s easy to put up, we don’t have to pay for one every year, and it’s pre-lit!
