Now we have a lot more space where the Christmas tree was! Having all the Christmas decorations and our tree out feels much nicer! Our house looks almost all white and much cleaner than before. We had Christmas lights over our white railings and had them on our wall.
Last night we deep cleaned, getting all the Christmas stuff out and into boxes and taking down lights. It took work, but it wasn't actually long cleaning up. Simeon and Ezra carried the Christmas tree outside. There were so many pine needles from the tree everywhere after they took it out! So I got a broom and swept it into piles, then we got the vacuum cleaner out and sucked it all up. Then we did the carpet and sucked all the pine needles out. So now I am pretty sure the vacuum cleaner is full of pine needles!
And by now, the house was looking pretty nice!
We started cleaning around 7:00 PM. And finished cleaning around 8:30 PM. So it wasn't bad at all! After we cleaned, Simeon, Ezra, And I played Minecraft until 9:00 PM.
Here are some pictures from when we cleaned up and when we had the Christmas lights:
