Christmas Time

Traditions! I love traditions! Last year I took Dylan to the Hallmark store to pick out his own ornament. He picked out the Fisher Price Barn ornament. I was excited to take him again this year to see what he would pick out. I am not surprised that he picked out something to do with cars. Helping daddy hang up the decorations. Decorating the tree is something I always remember doing when I was growing up so it is something I look forward to doing every year with my family.

Dylan's first 4 Christmas ornaments. I find it hard to believe that this is going to be his 4th Christmas. Every year it gets more exciting and he starts to understand more and more!


He found a Santa hat ornament, he thought it was pretty funny!


And finally putting the star on the top!






I love our house when it is all decorated for Christmas!! I am also excited when December 26th comes around and we can take it all down and get our family pictures back up! This year I was very lucky to have my mom come up one day and decorate with me. She is so helpful and it is just fun to spend the day together!!





The tree...it's done! This year Dylan wanted to use the big lights on the tree. I love these lights, they remind me of my childhood. Dylan wanted to put all the ornaments in one spot so we had to make a few tweeks! You will notice all of my Hallmark singing snowman on the bottom. Seth gets them for me every year. This is year it is a Snoopy one, Dylan is excited to buy it and add it to our collection. Outside! This year we decided not to put lights on the house. We have so much going on and just didn't want to add that to our list. We put up some lights, but not to the extent that we usually do! I think Seth was OK with this, I am the one that loves the lights on the house!


The fireplace! I can't believe next year we will add another stocking to our mantle.


Our entertainment center. My mom got me the Willow Tree Angel Nativity Scene a couple years ago, and it is always one of my favorite things to put up. We also have Dylan's past 3 Christmases and his Cookies for Santa plate that we made last year.

And our family of snowmen. We won't be able to put these up next year unless I find the lady that made them and have her make a little girl!
