Well the tree is up, presents bought and wrapped, little touches of Christmas are everywhere - except where two sets of little hands won't reach. The only thing left to do is see Santa. I am hoping we can fit that in sometime this week. The boys are still pretty good with strangers so fingers crossed no one will cry this year.
I am off for the next two weeks which means I am in Heaven. I was so in need of some time with my boys and hubby. This break is just what I needed. So far today I have cleaned the house, did a load of laundry, reorganized the boys kitchen cabinet, several other kitchen cabinets, checked some blogs, drank some coffee, lounged around in my jammies with my little ones crawling all over me - life is good. Although I had a busy day - I still feel so realized. How is that possible - I am sure it is in part that I know I don't have anywhere to be except here. I am loving it!
Here are a few pics of our holiday home - keep in mind I would have done more - but I was trying to baby proof decorations - if that's possible.
Our Peace Tree - Love PB
The Boys Tree in our spare room - I saw the bucket idea from a few blogs I frequent and just so happened to have the perfect brown bucket from the boys birthday party - looks so much better than the white skirt I had around it.
If you heart PB - you will notice I have used their wrapping ribbon around the ornament - I made my aunt and mom tell the checkout gal that they were buying gifts when we shopped there the day after Thanksgiving so they would throw some in our bag. It wasn't totally a lie - the gifts were just for ourselves - either way I scored a bunch of their cute ribbon
for free!
I hand sewed each of these stockings - and
stitched our names in them. I made the hubs and mine and
Abbie's the first year we were married. Last year I told him I was going to buy the boys from PB and he said it just wasn't right and had to make them. He was right and they turned out really cute - I used their nursery fabric.

The hubs and I just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary! 7 years ago this week we first met. Little did I know one conversation would change my life. It took no time all to fall in love and a short 6 months after we met we were engaged and 6 months after that we were married (a year to the day we first met). We decided to tie the knot in Las Vegas which was just more our style. So on a Tuesday at 4:00 with 60 guest who couldn't turn down the chance to take a little trip to vegas we said "I Do."
