I won’t lie. We put up our Christmas lights on Sunday. The indoor ones, anyway. The outdoor ones stay up all year. I know many people do not appreciate/agree with anything Christmas before Remembrance Day, and thats ok. We can exercise mutual respect and keep being friends 🙂 I have zero regrets adding some sparkle to the inside of our home as the mornings and evenings are darker.

We also put up our little decorative trees above the cabinets! We put them up every Fall/Winter, long before Christmas, and they stay up long after Christmas decor is put away. I guess they’re more winter decorations than Christmas. We LOVE our trees!

Every year, we try to find another one or two trees that we love to add to the grove, but not this year, haha! Money is tight enough 😆 There is always next year!
While we lighted and treed, the kids ate some Halloween candy, played with some holographic scratch art,



and occasionally pitched in.

It was kind of a super lovely day. It ended with bloody noses

lots of laughing

and soft, unprompted back scratches.

I’m so thankful for yesterday, and the family I shared it with. Thank you Lord.
