My tree was decorated and up by Thanksgiving. For me the longer the better for my Christmas decorations to be up.
It’s crazy how I’ve missed them and I’ve never met them a day in my life but they are my best friends in my head 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Try putting some red ornaments on the tree to tie in with dining room. A few touches of red in living room will pull everything together 😊
Y’all need a tree topper. Take the same black and white ribbon used for the “cut and tuck,” and form a bow for the top of the tree. 🎄🎄🎄🎄
I love the look and the chemistry is awesome. Dustin gets the memo. Happy wife, happy life. Whatever content you put out is fine with me just keep them coming

Dustin the new home has to have a huge man cave, A storage big enough that 3 or 4 RVs can fit, and 4 cars for all the storage that will be needed. I am a female with 40 years of experience living with someone that does not like a lot of things in the house. Once upon a time, I dedicated one room for the kids and me. I love and enjoy this time of the year but to be flexible and fair to others, I enjoy displays in a mall or resort. My grandson decorated with me one year and after that, he says no Nana, too much work...LOL
Ok so we do not decorate until after Thanksgiving! But to be honest, the tree is the right size for the space you have decided. And my mom taught me if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. Love you guys!
You definitely achieved Christmas and comfort.

Keanna you said the ornaments,but the tree has come to life now since you've added color too it. You can see the ornaments better. Oh no the candles. I saw that Dustin. I remembered last years Christmas at your apartment I believe Keanna. You had some candles and other decorations .It looks and feels like Christmas I love everything .K and D great taste. I remember the candles too. Your were a little light on the candles this year. Yes I'd love Vlogmas.. You guys not going to be back till after Thanksgiving and will be tired so decorating now is fine. Some people do it early and some after Thanksgiving. Then you got some that does it all year round. You do what works for you two. Thanks 4 sharing. Dustin your really getting more and more comfortable on camera.. Love it .Happy Holidays to you both as well🌲🌲🌲❤❤ .
Do what makes you both happy...
Yes, Vlogmas! I love what you've done and it looks cozy. I remember last year, with the candles and lights. The staircase looks great as well. Vlog as often as you can and I'm here for it all! Much love to you two! ❤

Awwwwww…..everything turned out nice 🎄. *We try to decorate beginning a day or two after Thanksgiving 🦃. *I agree with you Keanna: the big tree would be better for the living room. For the 6 ft. tree, you might could mix some gold ornaments with the silver 🤷🏽♀️. *Vlogmas would be great, but that’s a lot of work with your schedules. Don’t worry about trying to post every day; just when you can. 🧑🏾🎄🎅🏼

I never thought of putting the garland and bulbs across the front of the TV stand. Taking that idea... thanks!! Your home looks very festive!! I vote for the bigger tree in the living room and little tree in the dining room. Congratulations on the engagement!

I'm Team Courtney on this one. In Canada, our Thanksgiving is in October; my house has been ready for Christmas since then. Also, I love the black and white colour scheme. It's not something you would commonly associate with Christmas, but it works. 😊😊
My house is decorated for thanksgiving! I like to have the house feeling like the holidays have begun when my family comes!!! So a couple of days before Thanksgiving!! Everyone loves it! They say I get their spirits going'
I love the decor. You get a hint of Christmas in every room. We put our tree 🌲 up the day after Thanksgiving and it comes down before January 6th.

Guys a new beginning requires a visit to hobby lobby. Get the 8 ft tree. Decirate the white tree with navy white silver and gold. Get a great sectional with gold white and navy pillows . Start there. Get navy blue. White and gold candles. Take old decoration and put in kitchen. Love yal!!!!
Putting a fireplace on the tv from youtube is nice while decorating 😊

I start decorating on the week before Thanksgiving because my little grand children is out that week and they enjoy helping me decorate white visiting. It's a treat for them. But their parents don't decorate until a week before Christmas. Kenna you should consider interior decorating on the side because you do a great job. Dustin you are doing a great job happy wife happy life. I look forward to the next video.
