It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

I just love the way the house looks after putting up the Christmas decorations!!! The Christmas lights just give such a warm, comforting glow! I try to put the decorations up the night of Thanksgiving so we can enjoy them all month long. Every year we let the boys pick out ornaments of their choice so that when we get them all out again each year we can remember the memories that went with that ornament. We didn't have a stocking for Carter last year since he was little, so this year I made new stockings for everyone to hang on the mantle! I found a candy gingerbread house kit that Cooper was dying to put together, so we invited his friend Hailey over to put it together! I think they ate enough candy and icing to last them through the Holiday season! :) On Sunday I let the boys wear their Christmas outfits to church to start the season off. I guess it is officially starting to feel and look ALOT like Christmas!!!

Yay for Christmas! It is really looking like it here with all this snow. Seriously, it won't stop! I love your stockings! SO CUTE! And you tree is gorgeous. I put up most of my decorations yesterday. I am just waiting for Matt to help me trim the tree. (He has finals this week. BLAH) Anyway I hope that you guys have a great Christmas!

I think it is funny that your pictures are all Christmas and my daughter is wearing a Halloween t-shirt. Ha Ha Ha. I guess I am going to have to buy her a dorky Christmas t-shirt that lights up.
