Deck The Halls

Has the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas EVER gone this fast before? This is one of my favorite times of year!! It seems like I was just dumping the last of the green bean casserole left over from Thanksgiving! William made a paper chain to count down to Christmas in Sunday School. Every morning I get the official countdown.

Here is a glimpse of our preparation for Christmas.


My dear Grandma Iris gave us an artificial tree she had for many years. I love having this tree for 3 reasons: it was my Grandma's, the branches are sturdy enough to hold up the heaviest of ornaments, and we can put it up early enough to enjoy it for a few weeks. The kids claim the tree as theirs and are very proud of it!

Audrey and William were in a little Christmas play at church. William was a wiseman, and Audrey was a sheep.

The big kids, Martha, and the husband went out yesterday afternoon to our woods to cut a tree.

Yesterday was December 21...look at the GRASS.

Nora loves the Christmas trees, and will walk up and admire, "WOW!"

Our stockings---anticipating Santa's arrival.

Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy 2012!!!
