Christmas Decorations Are Up!





Most of you know that Christmas is my favorite time of year, and that we always decorate way too early. Well, we did it once again! The house is finished, inside and out, and I love it! It was so much fun for the girls to help too. Logann was the master tree decorator! She unwrapped almost all of the ornaments for me to hang on the tree. Peyton was the master tree un-decorator! She took the ornaments off as fast as we could put them on! Logann called the ornaments her "presents" as she was unwrapping them! Some of you might be wondering about the picture of the bags hanging up in our hallway. I got this idea out of "Wondertime" magazine. These bags are the same concept as the traditional paper chain link garland that is used to count down the days 'til Christmas. Well, these are the "25 bags of Christmas." Each bag is filled with a small gift for the kids. We are hoping that this will be a fun and exciting way for the girls to count the days until the big day! The last 5 bags will have pieces of a nativity scene that we bought for them, and Christmas Eve's gift is baby Jesus! We hope that this activity is both entertaining and educational! We'll let you know how it turns out!

The paperbags look great Jen! Did you end up ordering the nativity scene online or did you finally find it at Walmart? I can't wait to get ours up...once I find time to glue the numbets on!!!
