The elves have been busy 'round here!

We are all decked out for the holidays! Santa's elves have been busy...and by elves I mean me! Parker and Andy have been helpful, but most of the decorating has been my job. Mostly because I want everyroom in the house to be festive. It's starting to look a little like Santa's workshop exploded! I'm just happy to have it all finished and enjoy it for a few weeks.
This is Parker's first ornament he made at school. Is it not adorable?? I was so happy to help him hang it on our tree. And, boy was he proud. It took us a few tries to find just the right home.
Here's the ornament I made for our tree this year. And by made, I mean I bought it and wrote our names and the year on it. :)

A few days after Parker came home with his ornament, he brought home this precious angel. He kept kissing it and "accidently" removing the halo.

It's been the perfect topper for his Christmas tree. He loves having a tree in his room. It may have to be a permanent fixture.

Here's our big tree. Andy helped me decorate it. I think we did okay! Parker's done really well with it. He messes with a few ornaments here and there. Oh, and he adds to our decor! He likes to put his stuffed animals in the tree. I'll try to get a picture. It's pretty funny to find a big yellow duck sitting in the middle of the tree.

Here are our stockings, hung with care. In hopes that Santa will soon be here!

These are some cute frames I found. They're made from old ceiling tiles. I added bows to make them more festive. I might have heard Andy muttering about having to see one more bow....

Lastly, here's our family room tree. It seems a little sparse on ornaments. In the future it'll be full of Parker's handmade creations. I can't wait!

Now this elf is off to finish her shopping, wrapping, ribboning, and bowing!
