It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

The kids had such fun decorating the tree this year- mostly because we let them stand on the little stool and hang ornaments! When we finished the big tree, we moved on to the little tree in their room with all of their ornaments and the mini tree on the kitchen table and we still need to do the little tree in Bristol's room. Brayden & Daddy hung lights and garland on the porch outside and put up the big inflatable Santa. The stockings are all hung

These foam gingerbread house kits are SOOOOO much easier than the ridiculous mini houses we tried to do last year from a kit. These don't break, they're not messy, the kids can decorate all by themselves and you're not tempted to eat all the candy!

 I love how it looks like it's snowing here, but it's really just rain. If you squint, you can see Rudolph's red nose glowing down to the right of the plant by the door.
 The kids are so excited to see Santa each day when he "wakes up from his nap!"
 Can you believe that I've never actually see the Nutcracker? I just like these and happened to pick up a few on clearance after Christmas for a few years!
 One of my favorite ornaments: dried flowers from our wedding that my Mom saved and made into ornaments for us for our first Christmas! Breakables will remain off of the tree for a few more years...
 Love this ornament that we made last year at You Made It with the kids thumbprints.
 Brayden & Brinley play with this manger and assorted people and animals on a daily basis. 
Ta-da!
