It looks like Christmas

Christmas is my favorite time of year!  I finally finished decorating for Christmas.  This year I didn't do as much as I normally do.  It was much harder this year with Collins around.  I need to make arrangements for Mimi or Mo to keep him one day next year so I can knock it all out in a day instead of a week.  
It took several days but I am pleased with the simple decorations.  


 We did a small live tree this year and only used ribbon, Radko, and Butterflies!  


My mom bought us these cute stocking holders at Swirlz.  If you notice, Collins doesn't have a stocking.  After looking at fabrics, Pinterest and Etsy I have decided that we are all getting new stockings.  Yesterday I made a trip to Premier Prints.  I hope to work on our new stockings this week so we can get them monogrammed in time for Christmas.  


This is what Collins did most of the time while I was decorating.  He likes looking at the pattern on the side of his bassinet.  



While I had the Christmas Decorations out I bought new storage bins and re-organized all of it.  Maybe it will be better protected in the attic and easier to find what I need next year when we are in the new house.  

Now, if I could just finish Christmas Shopping!
