Happiness is Christmas decorating. It’s exciting every year to get out all the decorations that have been in storage for almost a year. The look of the living room gets all cozy and nice. Each year we put up the decorations but not in the exact same way.
Mom brought up the tree from the basement and put the tree skirt around it. Naughty Nelson decided to play with it and get it all ruffled up. Of course, he got caught but being the holidays no real punishment was given.
I grabbed the cute stuffed elf to put at the fireplace with Santa and his reindeer.
Mom hangs up our stockings because the mantle is too high for us to reach. Olivia wanted to make sure the job was done right. I really think she was just wondering if there was anything in her stocking yet.
Nelson got the bin open with the table decorations for the dining room. If you look, you can see the caroler family is on top of the bin.
I love to help Mom hang the ornaments on the tree. This is a jingle bell wreath that really makes jingles if I shake my head while holding it.
We finished decorating pretty quickly. Nelson donned the Santa hat and declared our house now, “Christmas Ready.” It’s a lot of work but it does make the holiday season much more cozy.
My GBGV Life is happy, so we’re joining Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday!

Help, I am smiling and I can’t stop! you are all so precious
Such a cute house makes for lots of happiness 🙂
Decorating is so much fun and you are all being so helpful! Love all of the cute shots!
We do it every year but never 100% the same so we are curious as to what will come out of the boxes each year.
yes we so agree.. and you are super helper
We love to help out!
You three are a lot of help to your Mom in the decorating of your house! Are you going to help your Gramma decorate, too?
Gramma doesn’t really decorate much anymore, too much work for her. Doing our own house is enough.
OMDs this was such fun and wonderful descriptions I felt as if I were there helping.
Just lovely
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. We enjoy helping Mom out, it is a family event.
We agree, decorating for Christmas is always fun! I also like to play with the Christmas tree skirt and sometimes I like to nap on it too!

Mom gets upset as Nelson is always messing with it. Still it is a fun time of year.
Wonderful Christmas decorating with all your helpers ~ cozy house for sure with your sweet doggies ~ hugs ~

We love cozy around here!
What fun! We decorated the inside today, but the outside has to wait until the ice is gone. outside lights went up
last week. the “pack” watched me pull things out but just sat and watched, thank GOD! Lydia would be chewing up everything, Jimmy just likes to “nest” in the boxes, and Olive…sweet girl, just found a window cushion on which she could survey the front yard as well as the inside unpacking.
We are all old enough to not be destructive anymore but we do love snooping through the boxes and stuff.
How fun and mom can’t do it without your help. I love you in that Santa hat, Nelson. You’re so handsome.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches all around and a hug to mom. ♥
Thank you. I am glad I don’t have Santa’s beard, though, mine is enough work!
I’m sure the house looks great and Santa will Be very pleased to come down the chinmey with lots of gifts.
We always hopes so. Nelson is in charge of snacks for him since he is a snack expert!
It is fun to have everything all ready to celebrate, your house looks very festive.
Mom likes to get it all done the day after Thanksgiving and then not have to think about it, just enjoy it.
Nice job, guys. The house looks terrific and very festive. 🎄
It’s not too decorated, just enough to make it feel cozy and holiday 🙂
