Oh, Christmas Trees!

Last year, Derrick's uncle and aunt gave us one of their
Christmas trees. We decided to put it in the kids' room. We
did the same thing this year. They love it, it's so much fun. 
Santa Claus puts candy in their little stockings hung on
their tree. Lowynn's so excited for that. =) I just love
this time of the year!







LOVE THEM!

We decided to put our fake tree, that usually goes in our 
dining room, in our bedroom. This one we got to put our glass
ornaments on. I love having it in there!



Then for our main tree in our dining room, we got
a real one. We were going to get a permit to go cut 
one down, with Stewart and Erin, but they were all 
sold out. So we just went to a tree lot and bought one.
On our way to get our tree!
He wouldn't hold still or open his eyes. I had
to wait till he opened them, then I hurried and took
the picture.
Looking for the perfect tree!








Waiting for daddy to bring our Christmas tree in. =)

Here it is! I love it, it is perfect! =)
Now on to decorating!
Notice how all of the ornaments are right next to each other.
They did such a lovely job of decorating! =)










Staring at the tree. =)





Fun family time! So so so much fun! =)

Decorating For Christmas!

I love how my kids get so excited when they see our containers,
 that hold our decorations, being brought up the stairs. It is one
of the best things! I love making these memories, that my kids
will hopefully cherish for forever. I know I will! 

Getting ready to dig in! 







They are always so intrigued with the decorations
that light up. =)


She never cooperates for pictures.
Helping daddy.

Putting some decorations up. They love to help!

We make sure they hang up their stocking. =)


It's a lot of work to decorate! Especially when you have
as much decorations as we do. So it took us a couple
of days to get it done.




& here are most of our decorations!







I love how festive my house looks! =)

Julie & Brandon's

Derrick's aunt Julie, invited us to go up to her house for a
"Christmas party", to make pizzas, and just hangout. First, we had 
to stop at the store, and then we headed up to her house.


I love that he still loves to wear his capes. =)
Julie and Brandon's baby girl. Oddessey loves babies!

Singing time. =)



Lowynn and Oddessey had so much fun with Julie and
Brandon's son. 
Not sure what she was doing, but I took a couple
of pictures. =)
