Well, I think we finally got all of our Christmas stuff up. I sure love to bring out all our beautiful Christmas decor and set it all up. The kids were really excited to do it this year, too. On Sunday Whit came over and we set up our village. I just love all the little buildings and the cute figurines. We put all the pieces on this table to start out with because the whole thing doesn't fit up on my ledge so I have to pick and choose. When we got to the part of putting the lights in the houses, we realized they didn't work. So Shon worked and worked to get them to work and he did. Yeah. It looks so great. I will post a picture of it later because I forgot to take one of the finished product.
I was getting Cam's jammies on and he escaped. He really wanted to help "Da Da Da Da" up on the ladder.
After the kids were in bed and the village all up, we played a mean game of Ticket to Ride. (We got the Europe version, Jake and Em)
Our Christmas tree. We added some more balls this year. Nat, you will be proud of my tree. It looks more decorated this year.
I have always loved the Willowtree figures and nativities. I have a little collection of some angels too. For a few years I have admired the nativities but have been too frugal to purchase them. This year I noticed the ones with more color to them and fell in love. Shon knows of my love for them and last night he surprised me with this beautiful set!! I don't know why he did because I have been a little grouchy lately. Before he could even get them out of the box, I was crying. They are just so beautiful, and so is my wonderful husband. I don't know what I did to deserve him, but am truly thankful every day.
This kind of shows how big they are
My favorite part of the whole thing. How amazing Mary was to be chosen to bear and raise to Savior of the World.
