If you know me then you know I love some good holi If you know me then you know I love some good holiday decor. Which is why I headed to @target the other day instead of doing the million things I needed to get done to check out what they had to offer. And how cute are some of these finds?! Even though to be honest I’m not exactly sure why I buy this stuff since my four year old was using the little trees as swords after I made this. 
Have you already decorated for the holidays or am I the only crazy one?

Not me sobbing while I make this. I remember the Not me sobbing while I make this. 
I remember the first time I held Hayden over 11 years ago and then Avery almost 5 years ago and now Chloe. It’s crazy how fast time truly does go by. 
I love watching them be big siblings but I miss when they were just as little. Tell me I’m not alone in this.
