The day after Thanksgiving I couldn't handle it anymore. I lugged out the 5 Tupperware boxes of Christmas decorations and filled my house with holiday cheer. We even took the time to run out the to Christmas tree farm. I love traditions!
Although every night when it's quiet and peaceful in the house I stare at the stockings hung on the mantel and wonder...will 7 stockings really fit?

Because next year they'll have to. Unless we start deleting "mom and dad" from yearly Santa treats.
And poor Larry had to take 5 hours in 48 degree windy weather to drill holes and add screws into the house so we could hang Christmas lights. Unfortunately there's no way to get to our roof unless you want to climb all the way up the ladder that's extended to it's full capacity. Neither of us were willing. And now for the past 4 days he's been suffering with the worst case of pulled muscles, it's like living with a 90 yr old man with my house filled with smells of aspercream. But he got it done and it looks great!

Yesterday Emma caught me by surprise by remembering more about the story of Christmas when she was playing with 2 baby's. She had taken the pillows off the couch, carefully laid a blanket on top and said..."Mom this is a manger for my babies." But then Ben came over wanting to enjoy in her fun and I asked her if she could share since she had 2 babies. To which she answered..."Sure. Here Ben you can have John the Baptist and I'll have Jesus."
I guess she listens better then I thought!

7 stockings?? Is that an annoucement that I have missed somehow??
That was a pretty sneaky announcement . . . when?
Okay... 7 stockings.... I'll ask the question.... are you pregnant???
HA! I knew it!! So, when are you due? Congratulations!!! You guys were serious about "fillin' up" that house...huh? LOL!!!! So, where are the pictures of all your cute decorations?
Your little Emma, she is SUCH a cutie!!
Your house looks cute! I'm jealous of your jaunt to cut down your own tree. We finally made it to Home Depot yesterday, but I doubt we'll get lights on the house. Kudos to Larry!
