christmas is up

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

decorations have actually been up for about 3 weeks. i was pretty excited to
get things out!


we moved our picture wall into the living room

payton loves our german christmas pyramid. this is special to us,
we bought it when we lived there in 2005.


this is our new advent calendar. our friends from church gave us these little
mittens from his days at starbucks(they were gift card holders). i asked for a few and i got 3,000!
i'll be stuffing them each night with either a bible verse, stickers or a little treat for our little miss.


i am waiting to receive our first christmas card of the season.....who's it going to be?

Love the advent Calendar! We have a wooden snowman that has little drawers for each day of the month. Inside I put slips of paper that have a special activity for the day and the boys LOVE it! I think it is their favorite holiday tradition (apart from presents!). Jeanette

So beautiful Ashley! I love the advent calendar. Were the mittens from Darin and Douglas? Someone had told me they had some at one point.... do you know if he has more?
