Can it really be December 20th??? I am just about ready as far as the Christmas to do list goes, but as far as the Christmas actually being here? I’m not ready! I always tell my husband that I love Christmas so much…it’s not even necessarily Christmas day but instead the entire season! I’m not ready for the festivities to end.
I have been completely silent on the blog for most of the month of December. Instead I have been thoroughly enjoying the little guys…can I keep this age forever? Christmas for a 1st grader and a two year old is SO MAGICAL! We have fit so much into these 20 days of December: cookie baking, Saturday night Hallmark movies with Carter, driving around looking at lights, sitting on Santa’s lap, writing Santa letters at Macys, church & school events and concerts, piano recitals, Christmas movies galore, decorating. Speaking of decorating, I actually did something new this year! I decorated my kitchen for Christmas!
I’ve always swooned over those Christmas kitchens on Pinterest. So when Michaels had these Christmas wreaths on sale for 60% off the normal $12 price tag then an additional 25% off of that, I had no choice but to purchase them! And don’t worry, no cabinets were harmed in the hanging of these wreaths. I used my very favorite trusty Command Hooks for easy removal in January (or February…if I take off the red ribbons then they can become winter wreaths…right?)
I’ve also managed to keep these poinsettias alive since Black Friday! Has it really been almost 4 weeks since Thanksgiving week? Slow down time! Every year my mom, dad, Carter and I make one very important Black Friday stop…Home Depot! Real exciting, right? But we always get such amazing deals like fresh green garlands for $7, beautiful fresh wreaths for $7 and my favorite deal, my poinsettias for $0.99!
So keep scrolling to see how full of Christmas cheer my kitchen is! Especially with a little blue eyed two year old in his red Christmas pajamas drinking his hot cocoa! Cue all the heart eye emojis! (I’m also including a shopable guide after the pictures for inspiration for your own Christmas kitchen!)

I’ve always thought Christmas spent with children just makes the season extra magical! Your little boy is so cute in his red pjs!
