He also decorated his Magnolia store in Waco, Texas. And the remodeling expert shared tips on social media to get that Christmas glow.
“Obviously we’re doing it on this structure, but if you want to do it on the mantel, the staircase, on top of a piano or a console table, layer different types of greenery,” Gaines said in a recent Instagram video.
‘And if you want that really fun pop of color, add this fun little frozen berry. “Every time you put it in red, or even this burgundy, it creates a nice contrast,” he continued.
This comes months after she threw her son, Crew, a ‘fossil and comet digging’ party to celebrate his sixth birthday. He uploaded a video montage to his home page with the title: ‘SIX years! He called for a “dinosaur and comet fossil excavation” party.
She has been married to Chip since 2003 and together they have five children: Drake, 19, Ella, 17, Duke, 16, Emmie, 14, and Crew.
Towards the beginning of the reel, she gave her followers a glimpse of the decorations and gifts atop a long wooden table. Several green and white balloons could be seen lined up on the wall, while a toy dinosaur wearing a mini party hat was placed towards the center.
Joanna also filmed the sweet moment when Crew walked into the room to see all of their gifts and party decorations. He walked excitedly to the table to get a closer look at the gifts, as well as a large kite hanging above.
The clip then cut to an outdoor montage that included small individual ‘dig kits’ for his son and his friends to help look for fossils.
The group ran to an area in what appeared to be a backyard and were soon given hats before digging for fossils in their own sand-filled boxes.

The Texas ‘castle’ is the place where he will spend Christmas time with his large family. In 2019, Chip and Joanna purchased Cottonland Castle and completely remodeled it.
She has been married to Chip since 2003 and together they have five children: Drake, 19, Ella, 17, Duke, 16, Emmie, 14, and Crew, six.
The birthday festivities took place shortly after Joanna and her husband, Chip, celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary in June.
She took to her main Instagram page to write a loving tribute to Chip along with some photos of them posing together.
‘Twenty-one years. You have always had a way of taking a quiet thought or dream that I had stored away and helping me face it and make it a reality.
The star added: “What a journey, a wild and crazy (yet somehow peaceful) journey. I’m so grateful to God for this life we get to share together.”
He uploaded a photo of the couple taking a photo in New York City in 2024 along with a throwback photo that was also taken in the Big Apple in 2003.
Social media users jumped into the comments section to send their congratulations on the milestone, while others marveled at how the couple “haven’t aged a day.”
The tree had yellow lights, silver bows, and gold balls with gifts hidden underneath.
Her mantle had branches, berries, candles and a wooden nutcracker.
In another room was an arrangement of Christmas tree pieces in a copper vase with a wooden tree nearby.
In the kitchen there was a garland around the stove in which you could see a large ivory hole and one also made of copper.
One fan wrote: ‘They both literally haven’t aged a day they’re already getting older lol,’ while another added: ‘They’ve both aged a week.’
Joanna and Chip also celebrated Fixer Upper’s 10th anniversary after recently starring on Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse, marking their first appearance on HGTV since 2018.
However, the show received some negative reactions from fans, with some commenting that it seemed as if the two were “showing off” after the trailer’s release.
Along with Crew, the couple also celebrated their other son, Duke, turning 16 in May.

At the time, he also hopped on his Instagram page to pay an emotional tribute to the teen who also got his driver’s license.
In the caption of one video, he wrote to his followers: “Third time doing this and it still makes mom cry.” #16.’
During a recent appearance on TodayJoanna and Chip revealed the social media rule their kids follow.
‘Our internal rule is that you must access social media the summer before you go to university. “So we have that time, so 18. We have that time to figure that out,” the mother of five said.
Chip then added: ‘But it’s a challenge! I mean, you can tell these kids want it before that.’
“It’s not like it’s an agreed-upon place that we all decide at about age 18 and they’re like, ‘Oh, thank God. I didn’t want this to begin with. ‘They want it at 12, 13, 14.’
Joanna revealed: ‘They’ve been more or less quiet about it. As I would say, I haven’t told them anything, but I would say that in the last year no one has asked for it.
“I think they know the heart behind it, which is hard, I think because all their other friends have it.” But I say you have some other things.
He added: “I think for us it’s one of those things where we can say, ‘You have other things that are really cool. “Our life is a little different and we worry about this specific thing.”
“Especially for my daughters, since they are 14 and almost 17 years old. That is simply the age at which many mental things influence you…”
