It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

December 1st has hit and it is time to prepare for Christmas.

Whether it be trimming the tree...
Or baking cookies...

Or just having fun in the snow... I hope you all enjoy the Christmas season (and try not to stress about getting everthing done on time - I need to keep telling myself this..LOL)

I asked everyone to pick their favorite ornament on the tree after we finished decorating it.

Will's choice...

Rick's choice...

Lexi's choice...

My choice...we recieved this ornament as a wedding gift and it always goes in a highly visable spot on the tree every year.

Then Lexi and I decided to pick our favorite decoration. We both had a hard time deciding. Lexi thought it was between all of the snowmen she likes to line up and play with and the stuffed snowmen below on the bench.I couldn't decide between my snowmen bowl...

my tea kettle...

and finally decided upon my hand-carved Santa that sits by the fireplace.

Again...enjoy the season, and remember...Santa is watching you...
