Christmas preview.....

Well, it's official, Saturday we put the majority of the Christmas decorations up.  We usually don't do it until this coming weekend (you know after Thanksgiving) but for the next three weekends we are going to be way busy and by the time we could have done it, it would have pointless.  Anyway, I am glad that it is out of the way.. We still have to put up some of the outdoor ones (the ones on the house and roof were put up, but not the lawn and tree and porch ones.)  Just thought I would share.  The kids loved helping to decorate.  Karter got to help again this year on the roof so he of course was super excited! 

By the way, I know that the star is a little crooked but after about an hour and a half of putting the tree decorations on (with of course at least 2-3 children at a time) I didn't care by the end.  I will fix it when they aren't around.  Also, don't you love how we have to box our tree in?  We have learned (the hard way:)) that it is a little less tempting for the kids when it is harder to get to.

Our stockings, and yes I do know that there are only five.  Again, another thing that has been on the to do list for at least 2-3 years.  Oh well someday!

One of our nativities (my favorite)!  I love willow tree figurines and collect them.  I love the simplicity of this nativity.

Just wanted to say that I can't wait for December to come.... I love the spirit that Christmas brings!

*BTW, that is just the living room, I will share the rest later.... If I remember :)
