Kiddo's Christmas Bedroom

I love that with each passing year, our kiddo becomes more and more excited about Christmas time.

Not only does he understand and appreciate the significance of what the season celebrates.... but, he is also enjoying all the festivities at a much fuller degree.

He brings up memories from past Christmases and he wants to engage in the old and new traditions to create more memories.

I love it!

I LOVE HIM!

And with all that love and some Christmas songs in the mix.... 

we DECKED HIS HALLS BEDROOM!

We had a grand time creating another Funky Christmas Tree Topper.

I utilized a lot of the sprigs from our tree last year. He was so thrilled to see how huge this made his tree. It is quite impressive. And the colors are just fantastic!

This year, when we went to put up his tree, we discovered that all but one strand of lights were burnt out. HOW frustrating! It was a prelit red tree and I didn't want to have to rewire it. I worked several hours on trying to find those stupid burnt out bulbs to replace. But, it was no use.

After much discussion and frustration.... we decided to order him a new one. Plus, we would be able to get a pencil tree that would free up more space. Kiddo got to choose the color and he went with bright blue! Or teal.... we LOVE it!

We fill his tree with ornaments that he has chosen through the years, or ones that have been lovingly given to him. We are starting to build many memories on his tree.... and like many of you have probably experienced, there is so much joy seeing their faces light up from memories of specific ornaments.

He loves Star Wars {all year long} and Nutcrackers at Christmas time.

And then, there is this..... his manger scene that he received his very first Christmas from his very first babysitter. Even though she is all grown up now.... she holds a very special place in our hearts. Kiddo has been placing it under his tree EVERY year since he was two. It's like his special job after all the decorating is accomplished. Very very special.

This year, he added all the snowflakes at the bottom of the tree to simulate a "snow scene"..... he added the Millennium Falcon to simulate ---- ???? --- I don't know. An out-of-this-world nativity scene?

He loves his bright blue tree!

And so do we. It is SO FESTIVE!

And when we found this matching nutcracker this year..... we just had to add it to our Christmas decor!

And he wanted wreaths to hang in his room.... so we did {seriously he's not that spoiled -- wink wink}.

But, this pillow says it all.....
Kiddo brings SO much JOY to our lives.

I love it!

I LOVE HIM!

And with all that love and some Christmas songs in the mix....
