Christmas Decor and Celebrations

Cookie Day

Every year at Christmas time my mother, sisters and I get together and make an obscene amount of cookies to combine and hand out as gifts to various friends, family, etc. Here's my sister Anna (on the phone) making gingerbread cookies.

I think Rock was sampling as he was decorating.

Jackson being artistic- Mom didn't think of the mirror- not very professional.

Auntie Natty and Grandma being very patient with Savannah who is directing their decorating.

Cookies, cookies and more cookies!

Here's Jackson at his School Christmas Performance. They did jingle bells with these differerent length hallow sticks that were different notes. Jackson would whack himself on the head to sound off his note. Mom and Dad were laughing, we were crying. It was better than CATS.

Ok So I love Christmas too. So here's some of my decorating. I think I have too much fun doing this. There's too much stuff to take pics of everything so here's my favorites. I might change a few things next year, but for the most part I'm happy with everything. Did I mention that I love Christmas!

Formal Dining Room (notice the Nerf ball in the centerpiece - I'm writing it off as proof of my Children's ever present existence)

Outside- It looks better with no flash

Side note- When I was a little girl I dreamed of having a big house that I would decorate at Christmas with lots of white icicle lights. I feel very blessed.

Kids by the completed tree- I call these their Christmas Inmate outfits- they are really cute though:-)



Again- I like it with no flash.

Remember the reason for this blessed season!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Love,
