Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
I have so many things to be Thankful for this year, as I do every year. It seems as though things keep getting better, and better and I'm so grateful for that. I'm thankful for the many good things in my life, and as well as the struggles and the bad things... they make the good things just that much better. I'm grateful for my wonderful husband, my amazing family... everyone of them is a blessing to me. I'm thankful for my job and the joy i get from it. I'm so thankful for my church and for the guiding strength that it is in my life. I'm thankful for this opportunity that I have had to be in Raleigh and the amazing people that I've met here. I'm thankful for my cute little house and the warmth that it's four walls contains. I'm thankful for this time of year and the excuse that I have to look upon my life and realize how much is so amazing. So to all my friends and family.... thank you for being so wonderful.... and to the great Lord on High, thank you for blessing my life.
This being "the season" a family tradition of the Meynders has always been to decorate for Christmas Thanksgiving weekend. This is one tradition that I want to continue with my newly formed little family. So this weekend after Turkey day and doing a little shopping on Black Friday. Marco and I got out the boxes of Christmas Decorations (all 2 of them) and festivized the house.
Here is the mantle, you can't really tell but the candles are red. We've had a couple fires already this season and i love it... it is so warm and cozy.

It is my goal to get new ornaments for the tree each year. This year I got some snowflakes in red, gold, and silver. I love them... they are so sparkly!!
Here is the tree.... and it is SO fake. But it's ok cause it only cost $25 dollars. My sister and I bought it a few years ago when she lived here with me. I think it's kinda pretty. it is definately not evenly decorated, so if you're a fan of balance don't look too closely.
Along with getting a new Ornament each year I also want to start a "village". We don't have enough to call it a village yet... maybe a backyard. We've got a treehouse, a winter garden, and this years addition is a guy ice fishing. Once we get to the point where we've got a villiage, I want to give it a proper name. but that will be a while so I've got time to think.....
The last thing we did was put garland and lights up the banister of the stairs. this is a really blurry pic... sorry about that. but i love it, not the pic, but the garland. it's all so festive.
Well, there you go. Christmas decor at the Munoz's. Enjoy the season everyone!!

Love it!! So festive, we still have a pumpkin and skelly on our porch:) so you are way a head of the game, I plan on putting lights up though, you inspired me!
Wow, I should have decorated over Thanksgiving. As a result of not having done that my house is only half decorated. You did a great job!
