the saturday after thanksgiving, i went to help mike decorate his house. now, you all should know that mike is CRAZY about christmas. this guy has so much christmas stuff, he throws a big old christmas party every year and basically wants to wrap christmas up in a blanket and carry it around for a month. this year, he has a small front yard, which of course means decorating. our inspiration was this:
so we got up early saturday, had a big breakfast and headed first to the tree place. i love these places. every year i have a little fake tree, so the tree place feels so special to me since i never get to go there. it was a beautiful day so we walked around for a while, searching for the magical perfect tree (ps- we found it)
always touch the needles
still looking
when we finally found it, we called the guy over and he hauled it out to trim the trunk a little.
chainsaw massacre on the tree
i have no clue what this is called, but it's my favorite part!
all trussed up like a ham
next, it was time to head to home depot to get outside decorations. i love shopping for other people. it's seriously one of my favorite things. so my love of shopping and mike's love of christmas collided in a home depot spending spree!!!the wreath- wahhhhh! christmas!!!!
green and gold garland, tiny red bows
mini christmas trees
i think it turned out great and most importantly, it was super fun!!! then it was on to the tree. here is the end result (with lights, tinsel, bubble lights, merman, crazy decorations)
merman!!
