Who Says It's Too Early??

I don't know if it is the fact that we are finally in our new house, and feel like we can really decorate for the first time...

...or if it is the fact that we have had beautiful weather, and we wanted to take advantage of it, and not wait until it was snowy and icy and cold outside...

...or if we have been too cooped up and are going stir crazy due to the fact that we have had one sickness after another after another, and are therefore in need of a little cheer.

Or maybe it is a combination of all of the above.

Either way, we decided it was time to decorate for Christmas!  Yeah, yeah, I actually kind of hate the fact that we have done this and it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but can you blame us, after reading those reasons above?  Also, between you and me, I think Cameron was hoping to test out his Spidey skills...




Plus, I couldn't resist after Miley asked for the hundreth time if we could pull our tree out to decorate it.  She took her job very seriously as the sole decorator, and took a liking to a particular corner of the tree...about 80 percent of the ornaments ended up there (but somehow magically got rearranged that night...funny how that works...).  And Landon totally loved all the ornaments and the lights...heck, I couldn't get him to sit still long enough to get a picture without it turning blurry.  But we got some cute ones of him and Cam!











Don't worry...I haven't done ALL the decorating yet.  We still have some small things to set out...that will wait until after Thanksgiving.  :)

That looks like so much fun! It looks like you all had a good time. It is going to be weird celabrating Thanksgiving without you guys...

Totally not too early!! I've been blasting the Christmas music all week and I'm loving it! Plus, now that you're in your own house it's just too exciting not to do it! We'll probably put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving but if I could I would do it now : ) And I'm sure our kids will put all the decorations in one spot and I'm sure they'll magically get rearranged in the night too ; ) haha! too funny!

p.s. Still can't get over Landon's mobility! Look at him standing up by the window!! That just amazes me!

Hey, I'm all about decorating early. I think all of your reasons are pretty legit. I would have totally done it by now too if Kipp would let me (I told him I was going to start wrapping Christmas gifts the other day and he pretty much forbid me from doing it until after Thanksgiving). Instead, I'm that annoying person who still has my tree and lights up a month AFTER Christmas. :) So fun that this will be Landon's very first Christmas!

Must be so fun to be decorating your very own house! It's never to early for Christmas decorating, not with kids it's not!

Decorating for Christmas is the best part! I don't blame you for wanting to get it done early--that way you can enjoy the holidays a little longer:)
