It's*Finally* Looking like Christmas

Most people, it seems, decorate for Christmas right after Thanksgiving.  Since we have an early December birthday (H), I've decided to not decorate until after her birthday.  Her party was later than usual with Thanksgiving falling weird, so it was in the double digits of December before we busted out the decor.

Both kids were very helpful in setting up the tree...


and wanted to add color lights on top of the white lights of our pre-lit tree.


I made both kids pose with their "baby" ornaments just for fun...(we had to hang J's on...he didn't want to do any posing)


Both from Grandma and Papa.  The shoe for her very first Christmas and Thomas for this year!



Haylie was pretty into helping this year for the first time ever, but Jace could care less after about 5 minutes.  He got into the dance party though!!

 For some reason, Justin went and sat in the other room while we were decorating.  Mr. Scrooge, I guess?

To make the evening even MORE fun, Haylie and I whipped up a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies.  We had a good time making them, in addition to eating them.  YUM!


And then everyone fell asleep.  JK.  They all wanted to lay under the tree...so we let them.


Our halls are decked...and just in time!
