Christmas is Coming!

Christmas arrived at our home! Here are some of the ways we have shown it:

 Over Thanksgiving, Mom showed me how to make my own wreath! It was so much fin to do it with her, and now I know how to do it, I can make more! Thanks Mom!

 Our little tree. I have been looking and looking for a decent tree topper, and found this one at Fred Meyer. I wasn't sure about it at first. (I knew the one I wanted, but it didn't come in silver.. only in gold! So annoying!). But the more I see this topper, the more I like it!

We have also been hunting for the perfect nativity set, and again, couldn't find it. But then my sister-in-law Shonda suggested getting a Fontanini nativity set because they are pretty much indestructible, a huge plus for little kids. So we went and looked, and I actually fell in love with them. So we started our nativity, and we will add to do every year. Shonda also gave me a Shepherd for the nativity, for the birthday, but I didn't get a picture of it. I'm very pleased with our little started nativity. It is just the right amount of traditional for me, and Eli has already put the unbreakable claim to the test...the nativity has passed with flying colors. Whew! He loves to play with the little figurines and it gives us a chance to talk to him about Christ's birth. Win win!

We also have a garland across our sliding glass door with lights and ornaments on it, but again, no picture. I love this time of year. Merry Christmas!
