It's beginning to look like Christmas around here

Thanks Steph, I used your idea for ribbons on the doors.

Reading a Christmas story.

Reading The Little Gingerbread Boy.


The wreaths on the landing upstairs.



Our tree

Ellie found a craft she made last year in pre-school

Olivia trying to help me with the tree skirt

Yes, an ornament in the right spot!

Teamwork: I put the hangers on the ornaments, and the girls hang them.

It's taken us a while, but it's beginning to look like Christmas, the tree is up and decorated, the stockings are hung, and some of the presents are wrapped. The girls had a lot of fun decorating the tree, and Grace had a lot of fun undecorating the tree. She's at the age where she loves the tree and wants to take every ornament off of it, it's a little annoying, but oh well.

I love your blog, too - and especially seeing a little into your life - your home sure seems as wonderful as I remember it, even though it's a different house now.
Thanks for sharing a piece of your holiday celebrating with us.

Laura, we just received your Christmas card today. I love reading it each year and hearing about how your family is growing. AND, how it IS growing! Congratulations on your 5th pregnancy. What wonderful news. Your family is so beautiful, and we look forward to hearing more about your next addition. We are also expecting another in the spring (#2).
Happy holidays to you!
Love,
Anny (Yang) Hunt
