It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas

We were so busy with birthday business last weekend that decorating for Christmas just didn't happen.  So it got tackled this weekend.  The kids and Dad put up both trees - last year we found a small tree after Christmas to put in the basement with all the cartoon ornaments.  They had fun getting out all the ornaments and putting them on.
Craft time - making some snowflake ornaments

Lexi did pretty well on her own

Keira and Tristan decorated the basement tree themselves.




"Jackie" the snowman - the favorite holiday decoration - made by our friend Jackie

Lexi grabbed all the extra presents to put in her stocking!

Getting ready to do our annual handprints

One of my favorites, each year the kids add their handprint, name and year to our tree skirt.

That is such a cute idea for a tree skirt! I've never seen that before, but I love it. Something fun for the kids to do every year, too. :)
