Christmas Fun Gets Underway

The period between Thanksgiving and Christmas was short this year- only 4 quick weeks! That meant priority #1 was getting our tree up quickly so there would be time to enjoy it and all the other Christmas festivities we had planned.

Brian remembered growing up that they always had to rearrange the furniture to fit the Christmas tree (if you saw the size of Donna's tree you would know why!), and that made getting the tree even more fun. We decided to give that a try at our house this year so the tree is now in a new spot. Brian doesn't get overly excited about most Christmas festivities, but he does place importance on getting the biggest tree possible and placing it where he can enjoy it from the sofa!



Per usual, Brian and Collins were up to no good with my Tar Heel stuff. 


The girls loved the Christmas decorations. Collins is obsessed with the Advent calendar (which is good b/c I am too)...


And Addie loved anything shiny that she could get her hands on...

The first weekend of December was dedicated to decorating and hosting our annual Chili/Gingerbread House decorating party with the Kaspers and Flynns. (Note to self- making the gingerbread houses was not as easy as it looks- buy them next year!) A great way to start the Christmas season!
