#5- This has been a Christmas tradition since I was little. My mom made this great Bear calendar where the little bear (currently looking in the bookcase) looks all over the house for Christmas and finally finds his family decorating the tree on Christmas eve. My mom gave it to us this year and we loved moving the little bear each day!
#4- My new nativity set that I got for Christmas last year! I love putting up the nativity each year because it's so fun to have the reminder of the TRUE reason for the season to look at each day. It truly does help to bring the spirt of Christmas in our home.
#3- Christmas decorations- I love the lights and the stockings. Now don't laugh...in our home, our decorating is pretty meager since last year was the first year we spent at home and really decorated at all. Usually we head to VA, and let Grandpa do the decorating. The past two years, we've had to add a little each year. Let's hope next year looks even better...
#2- Our cute LITTLE christmas tree. This picture makes it look extra tiny, but Ethan absolutely loves it. And believe it or not, we made it through the entire month without having it knocked or pulled over. I was pretty impressed actually. His very favorite ornament was a green ball which he took off multiple times a day.
#1- Christmas Jammies!!! How cute is this little boy all ready for Santa to come. This year we started a family tradition of unwrapping new Christmas jammies on Christmas eve. We had a great time and all looked FABULOUS of course! Ethan got his early when we were in VA for Thanksgiving, so he got to open two new Christmas books "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "Beyond Bethlehem" which is a great one about the birth of Jesus! We loved it!
Stay tuned for pictures from Christmas morning!!!
