A Charlie Brown Christmas Decorations

 

 

A few weeks ago my husband told me this year his company was having a Christmas decorating contest. The contest is going select three winners. The prize is going to be three gift cards, with first prize being $300.

 

I suggested one theme, but he said why not a Charlie Brown theme instead, since we already had a Snoopy inflatable. I thought that was a good idea.

 

 

I volunteered to help since I love decorating, and hey why not try to win some money. Since my husband is a techy,  I thought he definitely needed my help. At first I thought of painting some sets myself, but with this crazy busy season, I decided to go an easier route. I started surfing online line for Peanuts decorations. Then it dawned on my why not look for a school store for bulletin board images. It turns out our local Schoolbox store had the theme I saw online. I already had cotton filling, and used it for the snow.  The pack of decorations also had beautiful shimmery snowflakes. My husband suspended them from the ceiling, unfortunately the picture doesn't really show this very well. I added more snowflakes, Snoopy and Woodstock on the windows.

What do you think?

Decorate the Teachers

My son had a great time at his Christmas party yesterday. One of their activities was to decorate both of his teachers for fun. Now we just need to place some presents under the them! hehe

Jordan also had fun decorating a gingerbread man at one of the activity tables. Can you see the gingerbread man under all of that sugar? He did not finish eating it, thank God!

I hope these pictures bring a little holiday cheer to your day!

First Decoration

It is so hard to believe that tomorrow will be the first day of December! Before we went out of town for the Thanksgiving break I found this cute little plate at my local Hobby Lobby. I thought it would go great on my kitchen counter. This is my first official decoration that I put up for the season. Now, I have to go down to the basement and start dragging out all of those boxes of festive trimmings. It is almost like opening up a new present when you unwrap each decoration. There are so many fond memories of Christmas past to cherish all over again. Enjoy the beginning of the season!
