Oh Christmas Tree



Today one of my co-workers and I put up the Habitat Christmas Tree ;)! I am not sure if you can tell by the picture, but...

*our tree topper is a construction hat
*our garland is construction tape
*our ornaments consist of small tools, blue and green balls (Habitat colors), pictures from home builds and events, and little houses.

I love decorating the Habitat Christmas Tree, because we get to be so creative ;)! Also, since our family tree is just 3ft, it was a lot of fun going through the madness of fluffing and setting it up.

In other Christmas News...
My MIL got us an Advent Calendar this year ;)! We have been putting little treats behind the days and letting Vance open them. He LOVES it!!! Even though we are still in the apt. and probably will be for Christmas, we have so much to be thankful for. I love Christmas and I will always hold the memories we make this year close to my heart!

What a cute tree! I love that you're doing an advent with Vance - my mom did that with me when I was little, and I can't wait to have one for Brayden!

That tree is so cute!! It has been a long time since I've seen a white tree. So Pretty!!

Our former Sunday School teacher's wife told us about the advent calendar. She does it with her girls.
