'Tis the Season

Thanksgiving is officially over.  Time to decorate for Christmas!

 

OK, the truth is we don't usually begin decorating this soon after Thanksgiving for Christmas.  Last night as we were driving home from Jay's parents house I noticed A LOT of Christmas trees in peoples homes, and bushes lit up with beautiful lights.  Me, being the ridiculous decorative me- felt inspired.

 

 

So, today Kyle and Hailey decorated little Christmas trees to go in their rooms. Although, I have to admit, this idea came with other intentions......

 

 

When we were in Target the other day they had little trees and things to decorate those little trees.  The kids begged for them.  I almost bought the whole thing...but then stopped my self.

 

Where are we going to put these little trees?

 

Then I became inspired.  We could decorate little trees and put them in their rooms (so fun); BUT it also may inspire them to want to sleep and stay asleep in their own beds! So my Christmas decor gets to spread into 2 more rooms in the house AND they will hopefully want to sleep through the night in their own rooms. Bonus for me!

 

Then I remembered I already had little trees at home that they could decorate. Kyle and Hailey picked their favorite colors and we got the mini lights and ornaments to decorate their mini trees.

 

Kyle chose his favorite color...Green.

 

 

  It was a tough decision for Hailey between pink and purple; but she chose purple.

 

I have to admit I still spend at least one night in the living room sleeping by the magical glow of the Christmas tree.

 

 

So I think having a little tree in your room is so cool!

 

 

AND...so far, they fell asleep and are still asleep in their own beds.

 

Maybe 'tis the season for them to sleep in their own rooms.  Merry, Merry! =)
