We were able to get our tree up a little early this year since Daddy had the week of Thanksgiving off. We ventured to Home Depot to pick up our tree on Monday, but the tree area was not officially open yet. We let a Home Depot employee blindly pick our tree, and Daddy and I both think it may be our best tree yet!
While I strung the lights, the kids decorated gingerbread houses to place on the mantle. I was very impressed with how dedicated they were to making the perfect holiday house.
Maggie could not wait to put on Christmas jammies and make snowflakes to decorate the playroom.
Bockle, our elf, returned on Thanksgiving night, but Jacob is giving him a run for his money as the elf on the shelf. :)
We kept up the tradition last night and visited the light show at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Mellow Mushroom was our first stop, like always!
The entire family loved all the new additions to the Holiday Lights. We agreed that it was the best year to date! The kids enjoyed some hot chocolate (Maggie immediately spilled her first cup the second she tried to drink it. Luckily Jacob did not mind sharing his.), and everyone left happy and exhausted.
This memorable night really put us in the holiday spirit. We are looking forward to a month packed with Christmas cheer!
