This Christmas, our tree ornaments were SO awesome. Very few Christmas balls were on the tree that didn’t have some kind of crafty component. Brady expressed how excited he is for the day that ALL of our ornaments are special, either bought from special places, made by special people, or carrying special associations. I feel exactly the same way. And today, as I take some of our decorations down, I am really enjoying see them all for myself. When everyone decorates the tree together, the kids are excited to hang the ornaments they made, and therefore, I don’t necessarily see them all. Then we have some sneaky kids who brought home ornaments they made at school and just hung them up without really telling anyone. There were a few surprised on the tree that I almost missed! I even found one that one of Solly’s friends made for him. It was all just SO cute.
ALL the popsicle stick snowmen.
ALL the trees and wreaths made out of puzzle pieces.
ALL the salt dough shapes.
ALL the handprint Christmas balls.
ALL the paper. My goodness. I don’t know about you, but I subtly chuck all the paper stuff at the end of the season. I always get new the next time, lol!
And ALL the candy cane reindeer. You know what I’m talking about. Anyone else?
Someone sneaky has been eating my reindeer…
I love Christmas, but its feeling cluttered in here, and I’m ready for that to be done now.
Ornaments are down. ✅
Trinkety decor is down. ✅
Gotta lunch Waverly, and then see what I’m jazzed about next. I might keep going. Take down the lights from the tree, or the railings, or above the cabinets. Or take down the trees from above the cabinets. Or I might rest. I’m not sure.
Its going to get worse before it gets better, but at least its started!
