MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We are all SOOO excited for Christmas at our house! Every day, Tamri worries, "Is Santa really going to come, Mom?" We already have a countdown chain so she knows today (everyday) is not Chrismas. She wants one of EVERYTHING (expecially if it is pink!)! She is also making a list for all of her cousins. . . Brax wants one of these. . . Toby wants one of those. . . Gavin wants this. . .you get the idea! She asked me this morning, "Can I open Kenna's presents? She is to small, and I am the BIG sister!"

Here are our trees. Tamri really liked helping to decorate ours! We had it up for a couple of days before we got the decorations on it and it drove her crazy! "Can I put the star on Mom? Lets put these on please!"

Below is Tamri's tree--she is so proud of it! She got mad at Dad because he put the beads on wrong. Aunt Cassie found some little lights (it is actually a necklace) that work great on her tree!

Here is Collin's nutcracker collection. He has one for each year since 1988. Where will they go when we have more? Who knows, but Tamri was sure excited for Dad to get his 'graham' crackers out!

The stockings are hung by the chimney with cheer, because St. Nicolas soon will be here (Collin's contribution)!

We didn't have a stocking for Kenna (obviously) so we had to make her one to match ours. Tamri was so excited she got to help with the bells! "Look sister, this one is yours!" She is really funny she has been playing with them and calling them skis.

We hope that you all have a great holiday season!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
