We are officially 5 days from Christmas, people, FIVE days. I can't believe it. We have been so busy with work and other things that Christmas has snuck up on us a bit this year. We did decorate our house a few weeks ago. It was so much fun! We bought our house in March and this made our house feel new all over again. I love building a home with Brandon and actually getting to decorate this year. We put lights outside and of course decorated our tree. We actually have a mantle this year, so we made the garland to go on top and got to hang our stockings over the fireplace. We also bought a large wreath at Michael's for 50% off. We plan to add poly-mesh to it. It's still a work in progress and I plan on hitting the after-Christmas sales to add to our decoration collection. Here are some of our decorations.

On another note, we have also done some other fun Christmas-y things. My sister and I baked our first batch of Christmas cookies, chocolate cookies with mint M&Ms. We also had the amazing opportunity to give back this holiday season. With our E-group at church we adopted a family through an organization called Hope Match. We went to Target to go shopping together for our sweet family. We were able to spend $100 on each person and give the family a $100 gift card. I know they will be blessed through this just as much as we were as we did it.
What kinds of fun things have you all been doing this Christmas season?
