Christmas is Coming!

It doesn't seem possible but Thanksgiving is over so it's time to get the Christmas stuff out.

 Our neighbor lady is always giving us cute Christmas things to decorate with. She is so sweet.

 My wonderrful brother got us a tree when they went out Christmas tree hunting and then he came over Sunday help me put it up.

 I think it's the best tree we've ever had. It is the perfect hight - the angels head just skims the ceiling.

 Got the lights on.

 Mom and Dad come over to watch us decorate.

One of the cute ornamets our neighbor lady gave us this year is a John Deere Tractor. Jackson loves it.

The boys loved getting out all the stuff.

I kept handing Jackson balls to hang up and then I went around to look how he did and he put them all on the same branch! Cracked me up.

Anna will be old enough to enjoy all the little Christmas things this year. Last year she was only 8 months old. She already broke a few of our old glass balls, so I decided to get rid of them and buy plastic ones.

Time to read, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever", growning up my Mom would read it to us every year under the Christmas tree lights.  I'm not sure if I should read it to my kids yet - what if they decide they want to be like the Herdmans?
