Christmas is Here!

It all starts with Decorating the house. It's fun being in a new house for Christmas and finding new places for our decorations.

Back windows.

Decorating the Tree.

No touch baby!

Finished product. Notice there are no ornaments on the bottom half of our tree.
Hmmm. I wonder why? :) Makes the tree look funny.

Each morning I wake up to the sun shining directly on baby Jesus. It's pretty cool!

The stockings are hung.

The girls love this train. It plays Christmas music as it goes around.

My girls were playing a lot with my Nativities and so I bought one that they couldn't break.

Matt had extra ornament balls from putting them outside that he hung them above the banister.

Family Christmas tree in our office. This tree holds the ornaments that have special meaning to our family.

Our basement bar. Notice our elf, Peter, who comes each day to watch on the girls for Santa. The girls like to find him every day.

Girls princess tree. Fits great in Emilee's room in the corner of the two windows.

The weather is getting colder.

Girls ready for Christmas

Santa twiners.

It's always craft time in our home!

Grandma sent a SURPRISE in the mail. It's a children's Christmas book with my mom reading it to them. So even though she is not "here" for Christmas... she can still be here in a sense. Love the idea! I think I enjoyed this gift even more than my girls because now I have my mommy reading me a story too! I will always be a kid at heart. :)
