And it begins...

We are decking the halls over at the Johnson household.  Last weekend we made a few new festive purchases as shown through terrible iPhone pictures:

 From Target: faux poinsettias, dollar spot ribbon, outdoor solar lights, and mini lights for our tree.

 From TJ Maxx: tree skirt with plaid border, jingle bell dog collar, and Cypress guest towels.

 From Target: flannel sheets, I actually purchased these close to three weeks ago but I never posted them.

 From Brylane Home: burlap stockings with red plaid cuff.  Look how perfect the plaid looks with our TJ Maxx tree skirt.

 From Michaels: garland, glitter, and shatter proof crafting ornaments

Home Depot: 48 inch indoor/outdoor tree.

From Jernigans Lawn and Garden: gold glittery picks for our tree and spruce scented spray.

And a sneak peek of our tree trimming in action:

I can't wait to share this year's decorations ... we are still a work in progress.  I know a lot of people wait until after Thanksgiving to put up their decorations and we still strictly follow that rule at my moms house. However, my family technically celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday and R and I thought we would be too exhausted on Sunday evening to put up our tree.  Good call.  We put it up on Friday night and it was the best decision, a couple of extra days to enjoy it.

Plus, my favorite radio station advertised the start of Christmas music tomorrow. . . score!
