Ready, set, decorate!

One of the best things about buying a new home is decorating it! We broke out the Christmas tree just a couple days after Thanksgiving, and have been slowly decorating ever since! Now that we have more room; I feel like we need more stuff! And I love that Rowan is at the age where he can appreciate it. It's hard to think that last Christmas, he couldn't even crawl! My oh my he is growing fast! If you ask him what Santa says, he'll tell you "ho ho ho". He picked that one up form nona in about 5 seconds flat!

We decided to put the tree in fromt of the window in the upstairs family room, but will probably open our presents downstairs near the fire!

I have re-decorated the mantel since this picture was taken, but I fell in love with this sign at Festival of Trees and had to have it. So funny!


And here is the house at night...so festive!


While we're at it, he is our picture of Rowan and Santa. I was secretly hoping he would cry, but he just plain wasn't impressed at all. I think he knew it wasn't the REAL Santa :)

Wow, look how little he was last year!!!! (I just had to add this one for comparison)
