Decorating for Christmas

Friday evening, we got out box after box and put up our Christmas decorations. The kids love putting the tree up. (Someday I'll have a real one again.) Tessa is excellent at separating out all of the branches and Adam does a good job of fluffing.  




 They were thrilled to find the box with their hats and headbands! Caleb was not so thrilled.
 My little Readers didn't waste a minute once the Christmas books came out. 
 Christmas movies galore! We will be well entertained this month. 
 Gwen was happy to find all of her movie friends. 
 They are always so excited to hang their very own ornaments. 

 Gwennie loved that her picture was on an ornament.





 Our favorite part of decorating for Christmas is reading out stocking notes. Gwen decided to try and wear her stocking as an actual sock. 


 Daddy helped the girls read their notes. Tessa was grossed out that one of her goals was to try a fruit. Needless to say, that one didn't happen. 



 All done and so happy to celebrate this wonderful time of year!


 Our traditional cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate and/or egg nog after decorating. They watched the Grinch and Gwen was so enthralled, I don't think she blinked once.
 Saturday morning, Daddy, Adam and Teddy Elephant put up our Christmas lights. 

 That evening we went back to Ma and Pa's house for more tree decorating. 
It was a fun and festive weekend!
