It is time to decorate for Christmas. Pepper is here for it...
Ashlyn & Landon received their 2020 Christmas ornaments.
Ashlyn's first ornament was a mushroom because much of her artwork this year has included mushrooms...
The kids & I have been obsessed with The Mandalorian on Disney+ so it was only fitting that Landon get a Grogu ornament. It is the way...
Both of the kids have been engrossed in Among Us & I found some ornaments that reflected that...
I won't say it was easy to come across Olivia's ornaments but we honored her memory by each hanging one on the tree & remembering how in years past she was a welcomed part of our tree decorating fun...
I love the house all decorated for Christmas. I love the lights on the tree which are turned on first thing in the morning & are the last thing to be turned off at night.
We knew that with the recent lockdown we would be spending the majority of this holiday season in our home. I think that supported our desire to put out more decorations than in previous years. We are also usually preparing for The Story after Thanksgiving so that takes more of our energy. Not that we don't typically have a good deal of decorations but this year there was almost not a spot that didn't hold some sort of decoration, including the Dicken's Village that was passed down to me from my mom...
I think the last time we put up the village was 2011 or 2012. When we got it out Landon remembered it but Ashlyn did not. Funny how our memories work. Ashlyn enjoyed helping me set up the town & all the little people this year, which is a big joy since the last time she wasn't allowed to touch the pieces...
Christmas season is here! I am so excited to do all the things! Drive around looking at Christmas lights, baking & decorating cookies, watching Christmas movies, listening to Christmas music, hearing messages about the joy of Jesus' birth & spending more time with my family.
