It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I love everything about Christmas and the kids were so excited about decorating, celebrating, and enjoying the holiday season.

We got our tree up the end of Thanksgiving weekend.  The kids voted for colored lights again.



This cutie kept pulling off the bottom ornaments, lights and tree skirt.  I think she learned the word "NO!" because we told her that so much when she got near the tree.  

I had been eyeing this advent calendar from Pottery Barn Kids for a couple of years.  Right after Thanksgiving it went on sale so I finally bought it.  It is a perfect fit for our "Meaningful Christmas" ornaments that we put on the tree each day in December.  A few of the ornaments did not fit, so we wrote clues in the pocket instead and the kids had to find the ornament.

Charlotte's preschool had a float in the local Christmas parade.  She and Trey had a blast riding on the float and waving to everyone along the way.

This year we put up a Christmas tree in the kids' room.  They used it for their night light all of December and whenever they made an ornament at church or school it went straight on their very own tree.


I loved dressing up everyone in their Christmas outfits! 

Charlotte had a Christmas party at school and even Santa Clause came!



We took the big kids to Dollar General to pick out presents for each person in the family.  They both got really into picking the perfect gift for each person.  Then we helped them wrap their presents.


We celebrated Christmas a few days early with Jay's side of the family.  The kids loved their new cowboy/cowgirl dress up outfits, board game, and sleds!
