Five on Friday : Spoiled Surprises

Can you guys believe we are less than a week from Christmas? I remember back on June 25th, I made a mental note that I had six months to get ready.  Well, I'm kind of ready :)

Before I start stressing out, let's get down to business!


1. {Holiday Cheer!}

I am just over-the-moon excited over our Christmas cards this year. Not only do I love these sweet little faces on them, I love how fun and colorful they turned out!



2. {Oh, Christmas Tree}

Our poor tree.  That thing is raining needles everywhere and we have watered it appropriately :(   My hints of OCD are really struggling with the mess, but we sure had fun picking it out!!

3. {Bah-Humbug}

Call me a Scrooge, but I'm really sad/irritated that hubs has to work on Christmas Day. This means I will have to call to let him know when the babies are up and keep them at bay until he can get home to see them open their gifts.  I always like to make a special treat on this special day and I can't seem to find anything that is easy since I will have my hands full :)  I really like the idea of homemade cinnamon rolls. Gotta keep looking!

4. {The Holidays at Home}

I did manage to take some photos of just a few Christmas decorations. I've already shared my living room a few posts back, but here are a few more!  ONE fine day I will really be able to take my time and shop for more things that I can add to our forever home for Christmas :)

(Made by your truly:)

5. {Whoops}

Mommy and Daddy learned a hard lesson in patience this past week.  Hollin's "biggest" gift arrived not too long ago and being the children that we are, we just had to put it together immediately.  We stored it in the garage with some clothes draped over it and kind of forgot about the darn thing....until she found it. Yes, completely ruined surprise, but the good news is that she loves it. And you best believe it will be out on Christmas morning in full glory.
