Back To Normal

January 2nd I started the process of taking the Christmas decorations down.  I always dread doing it.  Here are all our Christmas boxes. 

I love being decorated for Christmas but once all the presents are opened and Emily has new toys that need a home, I am ready to get things organized and back to normal.  Here is the living room a few days after Christmas.    

This is how it looks now.  Every time Christmas or Emily's birthday come around I decide to go through her toys and give away stuff that is too young for her or that she never plays with I reorganize the remaining toys. 

It's like a breath of fresh air!!!
