It's WINTER!!

OK, so, it's been winter for a few weeks now but here in AZ it isn't exactly snowing or freezing cold. We have chilly mornings but by 9 it's bright and sunny and in the 80's. This past Sunday the Hubs and the Littles and I decked our halls and had a great time making the place look festive. I lugged out all the decorations and it went from this...

to this...

Ahh. So sweet. I love when the house is all pretty-fyed for the Holidays.

 It took a few hours and by the end of the night I was exhausted. The OCD in me wanted to move the ornaments the Littles hung. They like to put them groups all together but I didn't. I refrained and took a deep breath. Then another one and left them. They did that and it was perfect. Here are a few pics from along the way.

The Hubs putting up the icicle lights along the entire front of the house.

Little Miss stopped to show me a heart and to say "Look Mom, a heart! Love always finds a way!" Be still MY heart! She is so special.

Little Man decorating his tree. He has a thing for Wood crackers, aka Nutcrackers.

Little Miss getting her groove on for her tree. All her decorations are purple and silver and glitter. Imagine that.  

Puttin' on the glitz for the family tree!

Our Elf Jingles hasn't came to stay with us yet. He comes for the twelve days of Christmas. He did, however, send the kids a gift. It was a Mickey and Minnie ornament. Something to help them remember their trip to Disney!

I made those bad boys thanks to some hot glue, cardboard, Dollar Tree ornaments, a Sharpie and buttons! Thanks to Pinterest for the idea! It took about an hour and came out super cute. The Littles loved them so that's all I cared about.

How about you? Have you decked your halls yet? I'd love to see your home or tree or Monora if you have! So whatdya' say? Link on up and share the sights!
