Deck the Halls

It's been such a busy weekend. Olivia and I went shopping on Saturday for holiday outfits for her and Dalton, it crazy trying to match a girl and boy. I decided to dabble in the brown family instead of the traditional black and red or burgandy. I found Dalton a pant/shirt/vest/tie in browns and creams and I found Olivia a dress that is brown velvet at the top, a turquoise bow in the middle and big dots at the bottom in turquoise and hot pink. It looks adorable. It's not the traditional Christmas colors, but Olivia picked out the dress, so we went with it as inspiration. We'll see how it works. Bonus, they can wear the outfits after Christmas, too.

After church on Sunday, Olivia kept asking me when we were going to put up the Christmas tree. I told her after Thanksgiving... Well, Brian forgot to tell me that he promised Olivia that we would put up all the Christmas decorations this weekend. I'm a softy, I had to help Brian make good on his promise, so we flew in decorating the whole house. It was fun and I'm sure glad it's done, but wow, what a shock to find out it's was already time. I feel like I'm so ahead of the game this year, I'm motivated to finish my Christmas shopping and get everything done. Good to know some people had the same idea this weekend.

Well, there is one added bonus, I have to squeeze in a birthday party before Christmas, Dalton will be 7 on December 13th. More busy weekends to come!!
