it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. 2013

…..

The Christmas decor is up and we are ready for the holidays! I worked on the tree the week before Thanksgiving this year.  We go to the lake for Thanksgiving weekend, and I didn't want to be overwhelmed and in a hurry to get back from the lake to decorate. This worked out great because I would slowly do one box at a time instead of having a living room full of storage tubs! I had everything  on the inside of the house decorated and most of my presents wrapped by December 1st! That's a record for me!

We got a new 9 foot tree this year and did away with our old 7 1/2 footer. The 9 foot was much harder to decorate, but I am pretty happy with the finished product!

I'm obsessed with the new gold wrapping paper I used this year! It's just SO messy!

Cute little pillows from Target!

The only new thing I bought for my tree this year were these adorable leopard Ho Ho Ho's. And I am LOVING them!
