Look out, everyone — I pulled out Jimmy’s power tools, we’re keeping our pediatrician’s office in business (again), and we somehow squeezed in Christmas photos with enough cousins to start a small village. So far, December has been a fun mix of drills, doctors, and joy — magical, messy, and 100% memorable. Here’s a peek at what life has looked like around here lately!
DIY
Decking The Halls
As I mentioned in a recent post, we are all decked out for Christmas at the Zottola Zoo! Sadie and I spent a recent morning listening to Christmas music while hanging wreaths, stockings, and putting up decor.
Jimmy came home from work to our little surprise and Sadie was so excited to show him the little tree and stocking in her bedroom! It’s a memory I want to cherish forever 🙂
Here’s a look at all of our hall-decking, plus a vlog of the process.
Along with the decorations we had in storage, I also did some crafting!
I made a few wreaths for our bedroom doors and mantle, up-cycled a mini Christmas tree I found at Goodwill, and made a pom-pom garland (<– probably my favorite decoration, lol).
We didn’t put up a big tree because a small house + toddler + husky + crazy cat = chaos without a Christmas tree to mess around with. Can you imagine the craziness that would ensue if we did put one up, lol! Some day we will be brave enough 😉
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! 2 Corinthians 9:15
