Well, not really considering it was 90 degrees outside when we went to pick out our tree! But you get the sentiment! The season is upon us and we were anxious to get our lights up and tree decorated! Let me just say that my husband is a PRO at putting lights up. He rents a HUGE extension ladder from Home Depot and goes to town! I love watching him do it, he is soo good and it is a total turn on:) Haha! Anyways, while daddy was putting the lights up, the boys and I got all our decorations down and started decorating the house. We got the nativity set out (unfortunately, we experienced a baby Jesus catastrophe last year and he is no longer with us), but we replaced him with Dillan's "Little People" baby Jesus... It fits right in with my beautiful porcelain set:) Once the boys had their bath and their cozy Christmas jammies from Yaya on, we put the Polar Express on and decorated our tree! This is such a fun family tradition for us, especially now that Dillan is old enough to participate. He calls all the ornaments "his." "Oh! There's my candy cane" or "there's my pickle." It is so cute. Connor, has to be "rerouted" several times a day as he heads to dismantle my tree! I love this stage....I am pretty sure he eats dog food on a daily basis:) Anyways, we got a beautiful tree that smells so good and looks beautiful. This is sure to be a very fun Christmas! We have Christmas tree lightings, gingerbread house making, visiting Santa, our annual party, Garrison St, work parties, and more! All the while celebrating our Savior who was born in such a humble way. I just love how God orchestrated how His son came into this world. I came across the following and loved it! Merry Christmas!
Christmas~ the unfolding of God's wonderful story of redemption, which reached it's crescendo with the birth of Christ Jesus. What a humble, quiet way for Him to say "I am the King of Kings" and have brought the power of my kingdom with me.
