Decorations and Traditions

The decorations are finally up! And we are TOTALLY in the Christmas spirit at our house. Jimmy and I had to get a new tree this year because the OLD one crapped out. I would LOVE to get a real tree, however the size of our room does not allow us to get a small measley little tree. It would look so miserable and sad in there. So we have a 12 foot pre-lit tree which we LOVE!!! So, here is our before picture as we are getting set up...

After picture with the tree lit and ornaments ON! Ella was obsessed with putting the ornaments on...which was nice, but she literally put all of them on ONE branch. It was hilarious. There IS more than one branch on the tree Ella!! ha ha
Here is a close up of the tree...

And some other Holiday decorations...the stairway...
And the mantle...
And YES that is the lamp from the Christmas Story movie on the left...our FAVORITE Christmas decoration of the year. One of our newest and most fun Christmas traditions we started this year is the Elf on the shelf tradition that we have started this year. It is the cutest thing. The Elf (that comes with a story book) works for Santa. His job is to watch your children every day and report back to Santa at night when the kids are sleeping. The elf flies back to the North Pole every night and shows up in a new place in your home every day. Ella is OBSESSED. The first thing she says in the morning is "Where's Wiggly??" That is what she named him, Wiggly. It is the CUTEST. So if you are looking for a fun new tradition I suggest the elf on the shelf...which can be purchased at Walgreens!!!
