Blogmas 2014 - Day 17 Christmas Tree Reveal


Ok, so I'm so excited for this post.  I can't express to you how much joy my Christmas tree gives me. We got a new Christmas tree this year and it's so lovely.


We have Santa standing in front partially due to lack of space in our home and partially for the tree and presents protection from the kids.  Haha!  

Here are the presents underneath the tree.  Ralphie even likes it.


The angel at the top was given to me by my parents.  She was the angel for the family tree since before I was born.  My parents replaced her and gave her to me when I moved out.  She's been on our trees ever since.


Here are a couple of my ornaments that we have collected over the years.


I collect Willow Tree Angels and have one of the ornaments.




This year, we started a new tradition.  At the beginning of the season, when we first put up our tree, we take the kids out to each pick a new ornament.  We may end up with a funky or goofy looking Christmas tree in a few years, but oh how we'll love it anyway.

Here's Ben's ornament he picked out.


Here is Sydney's ornament.


Here is Rylie's ornament.


And here is Scotland's ornament for the year.


Hopefully this will break us up from the set of ornaments we bought from Costco a year or so ago.


We also have the Tardis I made last year.  I wanted to make a Dalek this year but haven't had the time and my creativities have been used elsewhere this season.


And of course ornaments the kids made at school are on it as well.





We also sat down and did some ornament making from foam kits so they each have ones they made.


I really love our tree.  It's so beautiful, and getting better every year.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
