Roses Tulips and Tibbetts: Jingle Bell is back!

The day after Thanksgiving means it's official Christmas go time! The kids were showing paisley their items

Carolina fell in love with my lantern

I had put this pink tree in a box to give one of my best friends for her little girl and Carolina was like absolutely NOT lol so we ended up with the pink tree another year

Got this angel from my nana that lights up and has water and movement inside and the kids were so captivated when i turned it on

My absolute most cherished item.....this precious Christmas hand print framed! The white frame is Beaus, I paired it with a Christmas train 🚂

Then little miss Carolina's over here is framed in brown with a snowman! My nana loved snowman, they were her signature collection.

Filled up her potty chart! As reward we took her to see Moana 2 in theater.

They love the sleigh

Carolina set it up with deer in front

Moana 2 with mawmaw!

Sneaking popcorn! She couldn't wait lol

I was not very impressed with the new Moana. They are never as good as the first movie but I didn't find any of the songs catchy.

Matching grinch with my girl 🩷❤️ I prayed for this!!!

The past couple years we've done a multicolor theme and I added tinsel for nostalgia! My kids and husband like the multicolor lights. This year I also added some jumbo white lights so we could have both, I loved how vintage it looked. I'll be completely honest I got my feelings so hurt because Carolina told me she didn't like the tree. I went to bed bawling because I was like what little kid isn't just excited over Christmas?! Dane talked to her and she said she didn't like the white lights.

Dec 1st means time for the Elf to come back!

They got advent calendars!

Church photo op!

Breakfast for dinner and daddy made Christmas pancakes

Dec 2 elf just hanging around! They named him jingle bell

When everyone goes to bed I make the lights all white!

My momma had these Avon teddy bears growing up

Looney tune ornaments

And a felt Santa my Nana made

My nana's Santa portrait

Every single day of December was a dress up day! Monday-red or green! She wore both

After school our community was having a Christmas festival! It was cold and amazing with a snow machine and they brought in snow for tubing

They loved running through the bubble machine that looked like snow

They had cotton candy and popcorn

Bouncy house!

Was so proud of Carolina for doing this! She was so brave. And trust me, I did it and it goes fast! It was kinda dangerous because it was wet and slippery going up the ramp to the top and kids were going unsupervised and running into other kids at the bottom

I went down with bobo a couple times there's no way I'd let him do it alone

Once when we were waiting to go up again we had the tubes and both kids and it was dark. All of the sudden beau stands in the middle of the slope at the end and all I see is a tube coming down. I literally without thinking grabbed the tube and yanked him in the air by his arm and practically dropped him at my feet. I feel like I saved his life! I got to him in SECONDS before the other kid came flying where he had just been standing. I don't want to think about what injury he could have left with! It was so scary and another mom standing by was like "omg good save mom!" LOL

We went for a train ride to see Christmas lights
