Exterior Illumination with Treetopia

“Is your house on fire, Clark?” “No Aunt Bethany, those are the Christmas lights.” Raise your hand if you LOVE that movie!! Not going to lie, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is basically our kickoff to the Holiday. I swear to you my husband reminds me of Clark, SO much, and he will do just about ANYTHING to have a beautifully decorated, Christmasy home, inside AND out.

It’s a huge thanks to Treetopia to helping us (largely him, not gonna lie) fulfill the vision for what we were lacking. “We just need something right there on the porch,” Asa said. So with some Internet browsing and remembering how great this company is, we (he) did it! These Pencil Artificial Trees are 7.5 feet and really the perfect size for the doorway. We decided not to decorate them, as we’ve had some SUPER high winds recently and we just wanted to be more precautious than anything; however, how cute would they be all decked out?!

Our son Pierson is basically his Dad’s Mini Me. He helped EVERY step of the way and was with his Dad from START to FINISH. Even with a fever when these pictures were taken, he wanted to come outside and show how proud he is of their finished product. Since I am posting this on a Sunday, the day before CYBER MONDAY, you should probably know that Treetopia will be having sales as much as 60% off their products! That sale WILL end December 2nd, so if you don’t get the chance to order don’t panic; they have SUCH reasonably priced trees and so many to choose from. They also have wreaths, garland, and storage for all our Holiday needs!

You might remember that we got our indoor tree last year from Treetopia as well. Asa and I felt like it is such a nostalgic tree for us, reminding us of OUR childhood trees growing up. There is something about the rich color and all the family ornaments we put on, we just love it.

Treetopia has green trees, colorful trees, prelit trees, white trees, and even Halloween trees!! We are so thankful to have partnered with them again this year to aide in our Exterior Illumination (as Asa likes to call it), because really, the company truly is SO good. Check out our link here for the outdoor ones we got this year, these are perfect and would fit anywhere!

Thanks, Husband, for doing ALL OF THIS and so much more to make our Christmas SO SPECIAL. I really am SO thankful for you and how you love all of us. What memories our kids are getting…this time of year especially is so magical!

A Nostalgic Christmas

Isn’t Christmas MAGICAL?! The lights, the colors, it is truly the most beautiful time of year in our home. This year we are so thrilled to have a Treetopia tree in our home. This gorgeous tree reminds both me and my husband of our trees from our childhood, well, except, this one is massive. As soon as it was up we couldn’t stop talking about how grand it felt, and yet so nostalgic of our childhood. We simply love that this is the tree our kids will remember. That it brings our childhood and theirs together in a beautiful way. 

This year decorating the tree was particularly special. The kids have grown fond of certain ornaments, and had to share their memories of many of the sparkly things now decorating our gorgeous tree. Reese must have said “Oh I love this one” or “I remember this because….” With each ornament she placed on the tree. Making this season magical is so important to us, and sincerely this beautiful 9-foot Fir has really helped create that in our home. Not to mention the super cute ornaments Treetopia also sent, how sweet and timeless are these??

Whether we are sipping coffee in the morning, or hot cocoa at night, sitting by this tree has sincerely brightened our spirits. It’s funny how something new, can bring up so many happy memories of the past and help me relive all of those great childhood Christmases from when I was a kid.

PS: Treetopia also sells wreaths and garland, so BASICALLY this brand is your one stop shop. You really can’t go wrong (especially if you order today on Cyber Monday, when they are having up to 60% OFF!)

Not only did I partner with Treetopia, there are also nine other amazingly talented women who are going to be sharing THEIR beautifully and uniquely decorated trees with you this week. Each day this week, there will be two of us sharing how we decorated to show you what Christmas means to US. That being said, go check out Kara’s AWESOME 80’s inspired tree on her blog!
