This year we decorated for the holidays early.
I make it seem like we don't do this every year,
because we do!
The boys made the final call to start decorating this year
& to my surprise it was Luke who caved in & brought the Christmas totes up.
So of course the boys & I got right to work.
We took a little before & after pictures of setting up the manger this year.
As the boys unpacked each figurine we talked about how they each played a role
in Jesus' birthday.
Any time you can talk about Jesus in your home you probably should right?
Because we all know He does not get talked about enough in this world.
We also unpacked our Christmas books & read through several books.
Christmas in a manger along with making our sticker manger scenes polished off the night!
p.s. look at all the work that was left for me on the couch. yikes.
Manger scene 'after' pictures.
When the boys went to bed I quickly realized when I pulled out the stockings that
it all would not fit on our mantel. oops.
So the manger got relocated & the stocking were hung with care...
in hopes that St. Nick soon will be there!
Our tree in all her glory.
Christmas would not be complete without a BUNCH of homemade sugar cookies.
I made them 3 separate times so far this year...that's a lot of sugar!
Merry Christmas!
p.s. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
