Twinkle

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!





What a wonderful way to spend a weekend...


My parents gave Kyle this nativity for his first Christmas. It is one of my favorite decorations for the Christmas season. I love the little faces.


Glad to see Skarloey was able to bring Bob to see Baby Jesus!! Perhaps Joseph called Bob to work on the manger?? LOL!!




Our beautiful tree...







I love this angel. So simple and elegant.



Hello me!

















The stockings were hung...




Kyle and I made the swag for the mirror the other day. The snowmen collection is another favorite holiday decoration/s of mine. They were all handmade by my sister.




More snowmen and Kyle's first Nutcracker...



A simple swag over the door and snowflakes hanging from the sconces.



Even Bella's dollhouse got some Christmas cheer!



Miss Cali is fascinated with the tree. In particular- the lights. She keeps saying "Wahh" (wow)




The centerpiece that Kyle and Bella made...........





I love the twinkle of Christmas lights. This weekend we put up the tree and some other Christmas decorations. I am more excited about Christmas this year than I have been for a loooooooong time. I don't know why. I am just filled with the spirit this year and all of the wonder and excitement that goes along with it.

We had so much fun decorating. The kids enjoyed it. And despite Marc being on call all weekend it was a very relaxing couple of days. We haven't had one of those for a long time. It was way overdue.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!!
Blessings,
Heather:)

Beautiful. I really miss having little ones around for the holidays. This year Savannah will be fun though and I'm so glad she lives close!

Hi Heather,
It warms my heart to see Bella looking so well. Oh how I remember those days when the kids were little and they would get so excited to decorate the tree. It goes so fast. Now I decorate the tree by myself...LOL!!
