Decorating for Christmas

We decided to put our Christmas decorations up early this year before Thanksgiving. Actually, I talked Steven into doing it early and he finally obliged and got everything down from the attic. The kids were so excited this year. Oh my goodness, I had no idea the reaction they would have, they were thrilled beyond all my expectations. They loved looking at all their ornaments from the past few years. They thought the funniest ones were the ones when I was pregant and they say all of our names and then Baby Girl(from xmas 2005 when I was pregnant with Audrey) or Baby Boy(from last xmas when I was pregnant with Sutton) My pictures turned out terrible but I'm posting them anyway. Audrey kept saying, "I love Christmas Mommy". I can't tell you how many times she said that. She was the cutest thing. She also decided that she needed to change clothes in the middle of decorating to put on a christmas shirt and bow, then Gavin followed suit and put on a red shirt. They were quite entertaining and I was so excited that they were enjoying it so much. Last year they didn't care so much about decorating the tree but this year it was a whole different story. Come to find out, later, they were talking to each other about Santa coming the next day. They didn't understand that Santa wasn't coming until the end of December. They thought if you put your tree up and all your decorations that it must be time for him to come visit. So stinkin cute!!!

This year Gavin has asked for Star Wars stuff....surprise, surprise and also a remote control dinosaur (what?) and little Miss Audrey...all she has asked for is princess makeup and lipgloss. Really? You are 3 years old. Mr. Sutton doesn't need anything, that's for sure, he has so many toys he doesn't know what to do. I'm sure Santa will bring him something, he has been the nicest one out of all 3. Ha!!!!


This is the star that Gavin made when he went to Mother's Day Out in Aledo, this is probably the 3rd year we have had it on our tree.

We let the kids decorate the whole tree, this is the finished product.
