The End of "It's Beginning to Look at Like Christmas"

Last quick shot of the tree before the kids and I tore it down.

I always wait until after my birthday to take it down - a long held tradition.

Elegance of Christmas décor.

  

Katelyn and Erik figured out how to make a heart. :)

Excited to eat a candy cane during the dismantling of the tree.

This was my "Heikoop" side Christmas gift I was given during our "white elephant" gift exchange.

I totally scored on this one, and it was never stolen from me - everyone had much mercy on me I guess. They could see it was exactly what I loved and needed.

So when we had come home on Boxing Day, James put it up for me right away - which I so appreciated. It's perfect for people to hang their coats, or purses on and finishes up the entry way look.
