Christmas Has Arrived In Our Home.

Now that the floors are done we have dusted off our decorations and found the energy to put up a tree. Thought I would share a few:

Letting the kids decorate the tree first, (them mama comes back around at nap time to "fix" it. And the tradition of Ty helping daddy put the star up.

The kids special ornaments for 2006. Em has never seen anything Betty Boop but just had to have her. I found that fitting since she is such a glamour girl. Ty's Superman, sitting right above his superman from last year. And Piper's Elmo...shes all about the little monster right now.

Since Mike and I have been married I have always been a strictly Red and White tree girl. This year was time for a change...much to Mike's shock and excitement. We spiced it up with a bunch of color and it is my favorite tree so far. I had to get a shot of it at night and one during the day.

And a few of my favorite decorations, including a new star above my nativity. Mike surprised me with it.

Proof that Mike has a bit of Martha in him, this cute candle and ball centerpiece was all him.

And our Little People nativity. The kids favorite of course. Mary is missing her family however, Joseph ran off with the Angel last Christmas, and Baby Jesus has been going everywhere with Piper, so who knows where he is. So cute to hear her say Baby jeje.
