Christmas Dancing & Decorations

Ever wonder what really goes on at our house? Well, here is your chance at a glimpse in the life of the Dawsons...but let me warn you...it is usually loud, crazy and fun! We had a lot of fun decorating for Christmas over our Thanksgiving break and at one point in the afternoon the boys begged me to dance with them. We usually dance at night before bedtime and they love to dance, be twirled and then a dip for the grand finale'. They love it and it completely wears me out! So...we did some Christmas dancing...

We also did a lot of decorating over the holiday break. Scott, Autumn and I made Christmas trees on Thanksgiving night. We bent some wire hangers into spiral tree shapes and Scott bent the ends of the wire to make stars at the top. We spray painted them red and white and then covered them with star ribbon. They were really cool! We had the boys help us make more decorations by wrapping white candles with sparkly, star garland and placing them in glass vases. We also made 2 small Christmas trees out of tomato stakes and greenery. We wrapped ribbon around the "tomato" trees and topped them with the newly made wire trees. It was nice being creative, thrifty and "green" while we decorated for Christmas.

Here are some photos of our final decorations.
