Let the Decorating Begin!

Alexa was finally allowed to go where the big boys go. She was quite proud of herself. She's daddy's little helper. We started decorating yesterday to the sounds of Christmas tunes. It got a little tense at times because mom and dad are on a mission and kids just want to have fun. Since when is this supposed to be fun? Just kidding. We ended up having a great time. But there are still boxes everywhere. Oh bother!

Zachary is bringing down decoration boxes from the loft in the garage and holding on for dear life!

Alexa's first time able to climb high like the big boys. She is such a joyful little helper.

Christmas Cuties

Here go the lights!

The kids took it upon themselves to make each other card, puzzles, games and mazes as stocking stuffers for each other. They really are getting the idea of gifts from the heart and having a Homespun Holiday Season.

NO PEEKING MOM!

Adding the ornaments and setting up the nativity is the highlight for all of us. the kids each have their own orn ament from their first Christmas. Each year they hang theirs as Alf and I hang our first Christmas ornament together too. When we ran out hooks we stopped and ended the evening to our first reading of Jothams Journey. We read it 4 years ago. It is one of our family favorite and forever traditions. What a wonderful way to end the day and weekend. All cuddled up in cozy jammies.

The irresitible temptation of a helpless man trapped under a tree proved to be too much for the kids to resist.

How cute, playing with the manger scene.

Family read aloud time!
