Merry Christmas

What  a fun week we have had!  

On Christmas Eve we had 2 services at church and then went to friends house to eat dinner, play games and laugh!  We had so much fun!  The pictures above were taken on christmas Eve at our friends house.  

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Well, I love Christmas, I love to put up lights, the tree and all my decorations.  I really love snowmen.  I have a lot of them around the house.  The kids started to count and when they got to about 60, decided that they would stop.  They hadn't counted any ornaments.  We had so much fun decorating the tree.  I unpacked the ornaments and the kids put them on the tree. 

It was so much fun to unpack our ornaments.  Every year we get new ornaments, this year we bought a flute and a guitar (those are the instruments Emily & Ethan have started to play).    

As I put out different decorations, I was reminded of memories, from when I was a little girl, of my very special Grammie, things that she made and had in her apartment, and things that we have gotten since we were married and had children.  

 

The weather cooperated and Ted was able to get the lights on the house up and the other yard decorations.  

I love to watch White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street and The Santa Clause.  I have watched each of them already.  

I have way to much shopping to do still, but I am trying to rest and enjoy the season.
