LaFrances in Color: Deck the house and halls!

A week ago as we celebrated Thanksgiving in Duluth we decided to head back home on Saturday night in hopes that we'd be able to get our Christmas tree and decorate for the holidays on Sunday...and that we did! On Sunday, we choose our tree, tree toppers and some filler for the window boxes and then arrived home to turn up the Christmas tunes and decorate! This is by far my favorite time of year; not only is it the month that my two favorite people were born but it is a time to believe in the spirit of Christmas and to be thankful for all that we have! Nothing gets me more in the spirit than some catchy holiday tunes, decorating our house with a hint of the outdoors while drinking hot chocolate and a light dusting of snow. This weekend, I added to our decorations by making a Christmas Ornament Wreath, after a few burns from the hot glue gun I have to admit it was worth it and I think it turned out great! This year we were slightly concerned that somebody would be climbing up the tree or un-decorating one bulb at a time. However, the first week with the tree up and decorated has gone pretty well; more to come I'm sure! We hope you are all getting in the holiday spirit...happy holidays!
