Christmas Time

One of my favorite things about Christmas is decorating the house and putting up the Christmas tree.  I love to play Christmas music while we are decorating and then have hot cocoa and cinnamon rolls while we sit back and admire our work.  Lucas is getting old enough to join in and I think he likes the tradition.

 Checking out the presents.

 We got these candy cane jammies for Lucas last year, and we also got one in a baby size, just in case we had another little one to wear them this year.  They are a little big on her, but they will fit perfectly by Christmas.  I love my little Christmas babies.

And in front of the decorated tree.

I made a bunch of Christmas decorations last year, so I didn't really need to make many this year.  I do need to make another stocking for our newest family member.  But I saw this snowman tutorial and there was a bit of a lonely spot on the mantel so I decided to whip one up.  It didn't turn out nearly as fat as it was supposed to.  Oh well, this will be our weight watchers snowman.

We have an advent calendar and Lucas has been having so much fun counting down the days till Christmas.  We can't wait!
