Our Family Ornament
It says "New Home 2016"
Look at the pretty little pine cone on my tree
Cody and I also bought this nativity ornament carved out of a gourd while we were in Mexico
The kids fell in love with these red letter ornaments at Target and wanted these this year

The tree touches the ceiling before I put the star on it. When we first bought this house one of the things I was most excited about was that I could finally have a HUGE Christmas tree and here it is!! Someone pinch me : )
My sister in law Erin gave me the idea to put it in a bucket so I borrowed it from my parents. It turned out so cute. The lights were a nightmare just like always. I got my lights out and discovered on of the strands wouldn't stop blinking and I couldn't figure out which bulb was the "blinker" so I could remove it. The other strand was normal, but only half of it worked. I thought I remembered buying Christmas lights on clearance last year, but I couldn't find them.
My mom saved the day and brought me a bin of lights. I pulled out the white ones, made sure they all worked and then started putting them on the tree only to discover they were icicle lights! I can't win. I used them anyway and they actually worked out really nice because I could wrap the icicle part of the strand up the individual branches.
Once I was all done and had the tree all decorated (and was scolded by my children for not letting them help me. I was trying not to interrupt their movie) I was putting all my decoration totes away and found two brand new boxes of never used white lights...I knew I had bought some!!
So dreamy!!
The kids wanted to know why I tied sticks to the presents?!?!?I thought it was cute and different, but I guess kids just call it like it is.
Remember the double rainbow guy?
Well what about a double fire??
