We are recapping the last couple of weeks in the DeWeil house and let me just say that it is truly looking like Christmas everywhere you turn!
The Saturday before Thanksgiving, my husband had to go to work for a few hours. He hadn't expressed any disapproval for decorating early, but I could tell the thought of set up was not high on the "fun" list. :) So. I had a little surprise for him. While he was at work, I went into the attic and got all the goodies down and set up. All was ready minus putting ornaments on the tree and a wreath I made for the front door.
It has truly created such a fun environment in our home. I know that Christmas is all about CHRIST. I am not diminishing that at all. It is not about presents and Santa in our home, but the Christmas lights and our faux fireplace make the specialness of Christmas amazing. I am loving it and wish we could keep up decorations all year long.
The previous homeowners, and dear friends of ours, created a special fireplace/mantel to use during Christmas. Since we don't have a fireplace in the house, this is truly perfect. It lights up and sounds like a crackling fire. It is truly perfect!
The girls came over the Monday, after we decorated on Saturday, and we decorated the tree. We ushered in the Christmas season with the movie Elf, cookies & milk, and the scents of Christmas.
Enjoy all the pictures, our silliness, and imagine the love radiating. I am so thankful for my family!
