This is the first year I decorated for Christmas. I decided it was what I needed to do to get in the holiday spirit. It is still hard to get that Christmas feeling here in Arizona since it's not "Wisconsin freezing" here. It's only Arizona cold right now. Last weekend I went to Kirkland's and bought the following supplies.
There was so much more that I wanted to buy, but I figured one year at a time so I decided to start with the living room. I got lighted trees, nutcrackers, many snowmen, plastic green stuff and many more miscellaneous items. We had to go to Michael's to get the plastic green stuff, the fake snow and the Xmas tree balls. When in the store I asked Andy which color balls I should get and his response was "I don't care." I then responded with "Well, what if I didn't care about your balls?" (Maybe slightly inappropriate for the blog, but funny!) He replied with "I lost my balls about 20 minutes ago when I walked in this place with you." Again, he responded without missing a beat and I just cracked up in the store...it was too funny! He was a good sport and I told him how much I appreciate him doing girlie shopping withe me.
Anyway, here are pictures of my first time ever decorating for the holidays. Here is the stand for our TV, the wall behind our couch and the kitchen table center piece. I must say I didn't do to bad for my first time.

Impressive! I love the decorations! I'm curious as to how the children, aka - Captain, Madison, and Izzy are enjoying the Christmas decorations. Somehow I feel another great blog story coming soon!
Oh, Andy didn't want me to put the decorations on the bottom of the TV stand because he has not trust in our babies. I, of course, went ahead with the decorations on the bottom half and so far so good. They sniffed for a while, but left it alone. Honestly, I am surprised myself. I thought for sure we would have a mess.
They look great, Jaimi! You are warming up to this domestic-wife role very well. ;) Isn't Kirklands great? I love that store.
