Time to take down the decorations...

I'm sad Christmas is over already, it came and went so fast.  I plan to take down all the decorations today and tomorrow but I realized I had not taken pictures of everything.  I'm so sad to see it all come down, it turned out so cute this year. 

I will say this though, it was my first year making pretty much all of my decorations and I am really proud about the way they came out.  I made mini wreaths for each side of the mirror.  I made the tulle covered trees that are sitting on the shelf.  I painted a vase to hold the silver branches and hung some mini ornaments on it.

It's a sad sad day....





I took a dollar store ornament, glued it to a piece of wood I painted then I painted the wooden letters from Hobby Lobby and glued them on the piece of wood too.

A great way to end - Day 25 - 25 Days of Christmas

It was great waking up and watching the kids open their gifts. They got what they asked for and even a few extra things. We spent the rest of the day with Justin's family, good food and lots of family time is a great way to end Christmas. I'm ending this with the picture my husband and I took when we made it home.

Family Time - Day 24 - 25 Days of Christmas

My mom, my brother and his family all came to our house to spend the day.  The kids got to open gifts from my mom and brother.  It was a really nice relaxing Christmas Eve.

I fixed a nice little spread of snack foods.....


We celebrated Izaiah's birthday, even thought it's technically not until the 26th...


I got to give my mom her gift I made her...
