I wanted to share some of the pictures I took this month for our family. We started decorating at the end of November this year because these two just couldn't wait.
How could you say no to that excitement!?
Finally a real mantel to hang our stockings on!! So exciting :)

Our tree - majority of the ornaments are hand made

Ornament Making...aka Glitter disaster of 2018
A yearly tradition, but not always with glitter.
A new family tradition - The Advent Calendar
Mike actually took the initiative to snap a picture of us baking cookies.
Decorating at Grandma's
A family tradition
Grandpa Blaine hanging his one favorite ornament on the tree. He lets everyone else hang the rest.
Mike with the prune doll he made as a Christmas gift for his parents in school when he was five and they were living in Germany. Goes up on their mantel every year. Pretty sure they replace the prune hands from time to time.

I helped with a few more ornaments than Grandpa, but my back was hurting so much I spent most of the time on the couch instead of decorating!
Trying to get the girls to pose by the tree...
Started off a competition with them each trying to be taller than the other - it is crazy how high Sierra comes up to next to Lily when there is 4 years difference between them. She is a tall 6 year old! She's gonna beat you one day, Lily!

And finally a little treat - decorating the cookies we made to eat!
