Christmas Crazy

We are a notoriously Christmas Crazy household. So much so that we are often the source of family jokes – but probably with reason.

Please note: This is a personal, real-life post by Kate & Josh – if you strictly want to read client related posts, please click here.

You see, we have a tradition. Every year on November 1 we start putting up our Christmas Trees (yes, plural) and decor. What started as one tree has now grown to 4 trees full size trees inside that I personally decorate, and then the girls have one each in their rooms, and then one for the loft … and I may or may not have added a mini tree to each bathroom this year, too.

We start usually with the indoor decor and then work on the outside. It’s been a bit rainier this year, so the outdoor stuff is taking longer than usual. There is also a lot more “outside” to decorate. We are also planning an outdoor tree this year, roughly 15ft tall, directly in front of the Great Room point that is visible from our driveway.

Normally, my main trees have themes. There is a Starbucks tree, a Harry Potter tree and then a PNW tree. This year, I divided that PNW tree into two – both much more simple than years past. I think I prefer it, at least this year. 2020 is complicated enough already.

Growing up, my mom never let us touch her tree – and I have definitely inherited that trait. That’s why the girls have their own Christmas trees. It’s fun to watch them evolve – and sort of bittersweet, as they’re less and less willing to put their handmade ornaments from the past on their own trees.

When do you put up your Christmas decor? Do you have a favorite part? Tell us in the comments!

The sparkly snowman is my new favorite thing this year – when I saw him at Kohls, I couldn’t walk away.

Where is your favorite place to buy Christmas decor?

About

Kate & Josh

Josh (he/him) and Kate (she/her) are creatives at heart – geeky, nerdy, adventurous and weird. We both have tattoos, we both love Harry Potter, the MCU and music (especially Tom Petty) , and we have a million corny inside jokes (Josh is the king of dad jokes). We spend a lot of time on road trips or creating adventures in our own backyard. We believe that the strongest and best relationships are built through experiences together and approach our relationship, family and business with that in mind. We could go on and on about all the cheesiness that makes us love weddings and wedding photography, but we won’t make you gag. Love rocks, that’s all. We are a house divided – Josh is an avid Seahawks fan and on football days, our house is a shrine to everything 12 … where as Kate bleeds Green and Gold for her beloved Packers. Josh also loves reggae music and rap, where Kate’s tastes lean more towards country, pop, and some folksy non-mainstream bands. If you ran into us on a weekend, we’d probably both be in the same room, but Josh immersed in his video games and Kate on the computer or playing that addictive and relaxing game, 2048 (I forewarned you, nerd-status is at an all time high) while listening to an audiobook (she’s nerding out on political memoirs & social justice books right now). Hiking, exploring, and getting as far away from traffic as we can get is the name of our game – which is probably why we live in the woods. Our house literally does not get mail service … or any internet to brag about. That being said, it’s a pretty kick-ass place to have fires on summer nights and to sled when it snows. If you’re looking for someone that will feel like a friend and not just a vendor, we can’t wait to get to know you. We have a mission of making sure our couples are educated during their wedding planning & wedding photography process, and that you never feel like you don’t know what you’re doing.
