It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas....
With Halloween gone, Christmas has sprung in the Ganief household. There's something about this holiday that makes me feel all warm, fuzzy and just so happy to be alive! My cheeks get a workout from October 1 to January 1, from smiling so much and I love it.
This year, I wanted to do something different. We managed to score a flocked pre-lit tree from Canadian Tire just after Christmas last year for 70% off! I've been counting down the days until I could put it up and it's FINALLY here! I scoured good old Pinterest for some Christmas Tree inspiration and I found the perfect tree to mirror and here is the final product!
Can't forget about the kids......
Since I wasn't able to sell our old tree, I decided I would give my kids the creative freedom to decorate as their own tree, the way they wanted. I think this is going to be an ongoing thing now, since it was such a hit with the kids! I put up the heirloom ornaments for them as well as the ribbon and they did the rest of the decorating. They are constantly making "improvements" to their tree by either adding more (actual toys) or taking away (they're kids after all!). I think it's a great way to include them in the decorating and to start a new tradition.
I'm looking forward to decorating the outside! Stay tuned for photos.
