It has begun

So this evening I looked out our front window to see our neighbors put their outside Christmas tree decoration out. It was so beautiful and I know it's kind of early but I promptly ran to the basement and set up our little tree. 

Chris rolled his eyes and Evan clapped and Alex ran around the house a few times. 

Even though I got the eye roll from the Grinch, the house immediately felt more magical. I don't know what it is about twinkly lights but it puts everyone in a happy mood. 

To save Chris from too much Christmas before Thanksgiving torture, I promised I wouldn't decorate the tree until after Thanksgiving. We'll see how long I last. 

Until then I'll make some Christmas Pinterest boards and hum a little Jingle boards until I have everyone in the Christmas spirit.
