It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

We put up our Christmas decorations and our house is looking so festive! It was so fun to be able to decorate and be thankful for our home, our blessings, and each other! But each of these decorations have a pretty neat story.

Holly is a very intelligent and skilled D.I. shopper. On one of her voyages she discovered this pre-lit Christmas tree. The neat thing about it was that it was only $5!! This has definitely been the greatest find of the Christmas season so far. We decorated our tree with decorations that we got at Target. We still had a $50 gift card to Target and we used a part of that to buy some ornaments. We got them at a great deal. That was a Christmas miracle as well.




This is Jake putting the star on top of the tree. He has just come back from playing basketball with Adam at Gold's.

Here is a look at our entertainment center that Holly refurbished when we moved into our apartment. She repainted it and Jake put on the new knobs. The village houses near our TV were also collected by Holly during her D.I. excursions. On multiple occasions throughout the past few years she has collect more than 5 houses for collection. Holly made them look good! They also all have a light in them so when they are lit up it looks extremely cute!!!
