Its Begining to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Well it has actually looked like Christmas for some time now in our house. We decorated our Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving but we didn't get our stocking up until this week so I waited to post all the pictures together. The boys have both really enjoyed our Christmas decorations. I put up all the decoration (except the tree) while the boys were napping and they were so so excited when they woke up. Eli kept saying how beautiful it was. That evening we got the tree up and the boys got to help decorate it. We also gave the boys their special ornaments for this Christmas. We picked out an ornament for each of the boys that was something that is special to them right now. Eli got a Rudolph ornament and Jude got a cat ornament.

We have also had some visitors since Thanksgiving. Eli and Jude each have an Elf that have been watching over them and reporting back to Santa with how they have been. The elves moved around to different places and each time they moved the boys would get so excited when they spotted them.

Earlier this week Eli helped me make some Christmas cookies. We made Blue snowmen, red bells (which were actually pink), yellow stars, and green trees. Tonight the boys helped me put out some milk and cookies for Santa and the reindeer.

We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
