Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year! I love to celebrate the birth of my Lord! It means more to me now than ever as I try to teach my boys the meaning of the season!
Sunday we started pulling out decorations... I usually like to get everything up that weekend after Thanksgiving but this year things are a little different. One, we are getting hardwood floors put in our den-YAY!!!!-and will be moving out for a week next week... Two, right after getting back from Columbia I came down with strep (which is how I have time to update the blog), so not only was I behind on laundry already, now cleaning, AND Christmas stuff! But, hey, we got the boys tree up in the playroom and a wreath and flag at the front entrance! We might just go lightly this year...
So, Sunday Jayce and I decorated the tree in the playroom with all his special ornaments (and Gabe's). Each year the McLaughlin cousins do an ornament exchange and he has gotten the cutest little ornaments from all his cousins. He loves looking at them and talking about who they are from. I was excited b/c he loves to decorate the tree as much as I do! Jay, not so much... and Gabe... maybe next year!
Mimi gave Jayce and Gabe a special early Christmas gift this year, a nativity set-non-breakable...Jayce loves to play with it on his bedside table!
Here are a few pics of the boys in some Christmas clothes, nothing fancy, just hanging around the house getting ready for Christmas!
