Decorating for Christmas

Getting ready to unpack the tree. Way to be picking your nose Alayna!

Alayna was being silly marching around with one of the tree branches

Helping daddy assemble

I don't know what happened, but in the middle of it Bradley yells "WRESTLE DADDY!" So off they go and anytime they wrestle Laura has to be right in the middle of it grunting just like the other two. It's too cute!

After these two wanted to go and decorate the little tree in the other room together. It was so sweet. They didn't know I was watching them.

Laura was really into the fiber optic lights on the gingerbread house.

We are in full swing in the Christmas spirit with the tree up, the house decorated, Christmas music going and the stockings all hung from the chimney with care. Can't believe Christmas is already upon us, but we're excited and in the mood. Our family is complete with baby Laura here this year to enjoy. Last year we were anticipating her arrival and came one day after, but now she's already almost a year old. So hard to believe! This year we are really trying to focus the kids on the real meaning of Christmas and to have the spirit of giving. They are still little and it's so exciting for them to imagine what they'll get and that's fun and ok too, but want them to understand the real meaning too.
