So, as far as I’m concerned, the holidays are here. Okay… I know tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so don’t flame me for jumping ahead. But, there’s a reason why I’m in the holiday mood.
My college roommate, Ali, was in town over the weekend. You’ve met her. She and I saw Harry Potter (which, by the way, a-MAY-zing). But, we also hit on the real start of the holiday season for me – Festival of Trees.
This is us by the ginormous teddy bear tree. (Love.)
Emily also met up with us. At which point I decided to go ga-ga over everything holiday and take a gazilla photos.
It’s a magical place…
My favorite nurses by the nurses tree.
And a few of my favorite inspiration photos.
And because we were in the spirit, we promptly made a wreath for Ali’s front door…
and painted some ornaments…
So you’ll forgive me for feeling a little fa-la-la-like. Won’t you?
All those lights and trees do it to me.
That looks like so much fun!! Love all the trees — especially the first one with all the bears!! 🙂
Looks like you guys had such a fun time! And you know me with all my pre-holiday decorating so I am right there with you! That wine cork garland is such a fab idea and I love how you guys made things too….what an amazing time. P.S….love the boots!
I love your sweater!
The wine corks as garland is my favorite detail…
Looks like some fun! You looked super cute,too! Love your outfit.
Very fun! Chris and I plan to start decorating this Saturday.. for Hanukkah and Christmas!
awwwwww!! ali and emileigh!!!!! you guys all look great!!!!!
I love doing stuff like that!!! 🙂 Going with girlfriends makes it extra fun!
I started the Christmas tunes this week, so no judgement here. I love the tour of trees, was that at a mall?
Let that Fa-La-La fly, girlfriend! (You had me at wine cork garland!) ;^) Much love!
Ha, I forgive you – looks like so much fun!!
I wish our town did that–looks like fun! I like your painted ornaments, too!
that looks like so much fun!!!! I love festival of trees, our town used to do one and for some reason stopped a few years ago. Lovely new ornaments!
I’ve been wanting to try filling those glass ornaments with paint it looks like so much fun!
PS: Your not alone I CAN-NOT-WAIT till we get back Sunday after Thansgiving, Christmas stuff WILL be brought down :+) wooohoo
I love all the Christmas lights, but can we talk about what I really love? Your boots. Where did you get them???

The festival is always a WONDErFUL tradition. Glad you had fun with Ali and your little sis. I can’t wait to spend time with you for the holidays.
Perfectly understandable! Looks like the three of you had a great time. What a great place to get together!
When I was little there was a big craft store that opened a huge warehouse-type room at Christmas with a billion themed trees…it was aaaamazing. The room was dark and they had twinkly lights and fake snow everwhere. And I had totally forgotten about that place until right now! So um thanks for the memory Kim 🙂
So that lime green and black mantle? I kinda love it. Annnd your painted ornaments are puuurty too.
Have an awesome Thanksgiving!
forgiven 🙂
i love all of those trees! we had “fantasy of trees” where i grew up – and it was a thanksgiving tradition to go each year. so fun!
i also want to steal that idea to paint the glass ornaments!
I have been in the holiday spirit early also! But the feeling makes me think of awesome dinners and spending time with my family. So I don’t think you are crazy at all! You provided my point with spending time with your good friends!
