It's Finally Christmas

I love Christmas! I love decorating for Christmas. This year we did it a bit early because we were actually home the weekend after Thanksgiving. Caden and Cory helped me with the tree and we had it up Thursday evening. I finished most of the other decorations Friday and Saturday. Cory, Caden, and Carter did the lights outside on Saturday. I love coming home and seeing it all lit up...I am not sure why, but it is fun!

I love that Caden gets so excited each morning the move the star on our advent calendar. He has learned that each time we move the star it is one day closer to Christmas. If you ask him what that means, he will tell you it is time for presents, but then he will also tell you it is Jesus' birthday.
I have most of the presents wrapped and he was a little concerned that he and Carter had presents to open, but Cole didn't. So we go ta few little things for Cole (bibs and a rattle) and wrapped them up!
Merry Christmas!

I love your decorations, especially the stockings. They are so pretty! I have always wanted a mantle to hang stockings on. I will just have to settle for my lovely bookcases until then, which is fine!

And I really like the advent calendar. I really need to get one of those.

The pics of the boys are still super cute, by the way--I look back at mine like that (when E was really little) and laugh all the time! So cute.
