Look, I'm not an over the top holiday gal.  I just never will be.  I decorate a little, we do a tree, and a wreath, sometimes we get the lights up on the house. There is some holiday baking, and cards, Santa visits, and gifts of course.  I'm not saying I don't enjoy the holiday - I definitely do!  But I'm not going all out decorating my house with garlands and centerpieces and changing out all my table decor. It's just not me. I'm somewhat of a minimalist, and I enjoy the holidays more when I'm not working my butt off the whole time.  But when you have little kids who get excited about such things, it's impossible to avoid adding on a little extra holiday festivity and activity.  And really the best thing about Christmas is enjoying it through the eyes of a child. 

So what could I do that's easy for me, and exciting for them?  Last year I think I came up with the perfect thing.  Browsing ideas on Pinterest of course - it can make your head spin.  But I took the basics of several different things I saw, and made it my own.  And I kinda loved it.
