Thanksgiving weekend is our time to decorate for Christmas.
And every year it gets better as these two get a little older to join in on our traditions...
Riley (who is potty training) marked the side he wants his presents on...
Chloe found that the butterflies (from my mom's tree decoration stash we use) really know how to flutter then find their way to the tree...
The fiber optic train thingy (from my dad a few years back) is LOVED by both kids!
And then there is this. The kitchen that needed a good painting (perfect Saturday night for Dave and I - sure...). But it has to get done. We are entering our busy time of the year. Both kids have December birthdays and we have family over for the holidays...
We totally didn't realize that "Duckie" the elf was in the way. Chloe was very concerned about us not moving him because he would lose his magic & would not be able to return nightly to report back to Santa...
Well, I had painted around him & called it a night (finished painting on Sunday). And this is what we found on Sunday...
Chloe loved that he had painted a picture of himself!
She was inspired to also paint a picture of Duckie where there was still unpainted space.
Riley did too...
We updated the frame with pics of all 4 of our kids (RIP Stinker...).
And now - it is done. A huge weight lifted.
I grabbed the last moments of sunlight tonight to snap photos of these pieces for my Etsy shop update tonight for Cyber Monday (http://www.MarshaNealStudio.Etsy.com)
Had some time to jump in the leafs too!
What a busy and fun weekend!
