It's Beginning to look like Christmas...

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this time of year and wonder why can't I find this much joy and excitement more often than just the last month of a whole year. It has been so much fun sharing this happiness with my little girls!! Oh the smiles and laughter and such giddiness is so awesome to shine on their faces whenever we talk about Christmas and its festivities. One thing I have found so exciting this year is finally being able to place a tree in our window. I know right? It sounds chinsty, but I just love to drive by houses and admire a beautifully lit Christmas tree in its window. I finally rearranged some things in the house to make it happen and now smile everytime I pull in. 
We've also decided to stay home for the first time this Christmas. We are normally on the road to Arizona or up north visiting family, but have found it just to difficult. So we are so excited to stay put and start our own traditions that we haven't really been able to enjoy as I would have in the past. Aahh...the music, cookies, lights, stockings, decorations....EVERYTHING is so magical and the Spirit of this holiday season will NEVER lose its trend!!

Yaaayyy...I have a tree in our window!!!

Leah had fun making her own Christmas Decorations
