Decorating...



I love decorating for the holidays. I have decorations for every holiday, and decorating has been especially fun with kids:) Rhenley gets so excited when we get to decorate. Christmas is the Best! I do have quite a few decorations for Christmas, it's my favorite time of the year. Lucas calls my decorating "foolishness" & "mayhem" (like Niecy Nash from "Clean House": if you aren't familiar with this show, then "foolishness" & "mayhem" will be less humorous to you:) Anyway, we decorated for Christmas the Saturday following Thanksgiving, it took about an hour and a half, but it was worth it:) I love snowmen, I have 45 of them (Lucas counted them this year:) I also have a few nativity scenes, lots of christmas books, snowglobes, & other christmas nic-nacs. (We actually just decorated the inside of our house, the christmas tree we're getting this weekend, and outside will be done as well.) It's quite the project, but I love it, it makes me happy:) The pictures attached with this blog are of my new Snowman Family (Me, Luke, Rhen, Jodee & Jayda:) (I couldn't resist:) And then a picture of my favorite nativity scene.

Happy Holidays Everyone, Happy Decorating, Happy Shopping, Happy Giving:)

Holy Cow Shanell seems like you have quite the haul for decorations. I seriously have nothing :) I have couple things and one small toylike nativity. Then the tree and the tree advent calendar. Pretty much it :) Pretty pathetic compared to you. Sounds like fun though.

I remember when you bought those. That was such an awesome day with you and your mom. I'll never forget finding that potato bag at St. Vinnies. Guess my Mom was there too.
