'Tis the Season at our Home

After the Big Feast and Black Friday shopping, we messed our house with all the boxes of decor.

Sam attempted to hurt himself when the ladder slid out from under him while hanging Christmas lights. Scared the beegeebees out of me (and him), but he's fine (phew!), and the lights are up. So far, we're the only ones in our neighborhood with lights up and on outside. Where's the Christmas love?

Winston loves it all. The books. The music. The ornaments (maybe a little too much). The dancing snowman. The popcorn tin full of Christmas toys, stuffed Santas, and bells.

Our Christmas cactus is right on time with its blooms. The poinsettias are the perfect touch. And today the advent calendars begin.

I always love this time of year, but this year in our own home with a cute little tot, it's even better.
