Getting Ready For Christmas!!!

Christmas is my favorite holiday!!! I just love the way everything feels at Christmas time! I love my trre and the lights on the outside of our house. And one of my favorite things is my snowman village!

But even more importantly Christmas is when we as Christians acknowledge the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Hence the word "*Christ*mas."

Me, Stephen and our boys have a few Christmas traditions..nothing big, just small things that make the holiday a little more special for us as a family. We always buy one new ornament as a family abd for each boy every year. And starting last year we have let Landen help us put up the Christmas tree. And he helps me put the ornaments on. He feels like such a big boy. :) Also when I wrap the presents I let him take them to the tree for me. As you will see in the pictures...he has his own idea of where to put them...lol (They did eventually make it to the tree though.) :)

And for the past 3 years we have done a Christmas card with either all of us or just Landen. This year we chose kind of a different way of doing things.

May you all have a Wonderful Christmas surrownded by those you love most! And don't get caught up in the hustle bustle..just do what you can to make this time a special one for you and for those around you. And may you never forget the ONE who this day is really for....and that is Jesus Christ!
