The Stockings Were Hung....

Okay, so we don't have a chimney, but I'm sure Santa will make his way in somehow :) Last night we set out to decorate the tree we had purchased on Sunday night! Unfortunately, when I was at Target yesterday buying lights, I had NO idea how big the darn tree was! It looked like such a little runt tree in the lot, but I guess that's because the $100+ trees we towering over it! Needless to say my FOUR strands of lights hardly made a dent in it!! Ugh!! But we managed to pull out and start with some of the stuff! I'll get more lights today and tomorrow will have the "finished" product :)

So for now, getting back to the stockings.... Here they are (my best attempt at Pottery Barn) Not perfect, but I think they turned out ok!

My little helpers...LOVE watching them go through all of our ornaments. Drew asks questions about each one, and each one has a special memory for me!

Addie spent about 15 minutes trying to put a branch that had fallen off the tree back on it! It kept falling off, but she kept at it! Too funny!

Drew loved the cardinals! Grandma Hilda would be so proud!

Our Nativity Set! One of my favorite parts of the holiday. Each year my grandma and I would set this up together. I loved it! Not sure what it was about it...whether it was the really cool foil covered, lighted star or what, I could spend hours just staring at it. I still love it...and amazed at how well that star has hung in there :)

Christmas tree will have to wait until later! I need about 10 more strands of lights! Eek!!
