It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

Its that time of year again. You know the time when all the crap comes out of the basement to clutter up your house AKA Christmas! Don't get me wrong I do love Christmas, but I am not a huge fan of decorating. But this year we went all out! There are three small trees in the bedrooms(not ours) and our one big tree in the family room. Garland is everywhere and I even let Rusty put up one stand of colored lights over the mantle! I detest colored lights. I am a strictly white light kinda girl but I do allow one strand for Rusty! (I am nice like that) Jaden was very helpful this year when I was hanging the decorations. I let her do the bottom of the tree. For some reason she decided she wanted all her ornaments on one limb. Needless to say I have fixed that and they are now evenly dispersed! My OCD would not allow them all on one limb!




We have also had a new addition to our little Christmas traditions. We have a new friend named Elmer AKA Elf on the shelf.
I find him a little creepy but Jaden is very into him. She is quick to tell me that I am not supposed to touch him! And she was quick to point out that he had not moved the other morning. I explained to her that he must of overslept and forgotten to go see Santa! She was relieved to see that he had done his job last night and was now watching her from the kitchen!

This year we also went all out on the outside lights. We have to decorate our trees closest to the street so that our street can be all lit up, but this year we added a few more items for the yard. We replaced the deer that were so brutally murdered three years back!

Rusty also put up his Santa airplane this year!



So now we are ready for the jolly ole man to make a visit to our home. I have even done all my shopping for a certain little girl! We have hit the mall a few times to check out Santa but she has not gathered enough courage to sit on his lap yet! We have had fun at the mall though playing with friends!






And just because I think it is funny, here is a picture of Lancie in Kayleigh's bed!


Yes the bed is made for Kayleigh who weighs 5 lbs and Lancie weighs 85 lbs! You try telling her she doesn't fit in that bed! And yes her eyes are glowing, that would be the devil coming out in her!
