Christmas Preparations

Just basically a "picture post"...but some of the festivities that consumed the times that we were home together to start the Christmas celebration :) 

1: Trimming the Tree




(a picture from later in the month...but one that shows the finished tree)
Tree #2 - for Addy & Blake's room.  I had this tree in my dorm room in college ... the perfect addition to their room for the holidays :)


2: Making home-made Christmas gifts

We got into making some crafty gifts for some of our favorite "peeps"!  We made different wind-chimes that fit people's personalities.  I'm super bummed that I didn't really get a good picture of each of them...

Working hard!


Blaker got to participate in decorating for a little while...until he tried to eat the little wooden balls full of wet paint (notice the blue on his mouth)...then he got taken off "paint duty" :)

My cute painter...checking on her bro that got put in the bath after his wet-paint eating attempt :) 
3: Christmas Music Dance Parties

I mean, what good is celebrating Christmas if you don't listen to some good music and have  a little dance party???!!!  What, not everyone throws dance parties to Christmas music? 




Yep...even the boys got in on the fun :)  They have no choice...they are doomed for years to come!
Blake actually is giggling here while we are dancing, even though you can't really tell what he is doing :)
Yeah -- I'm one of 'THOSE' people...that enjoy all aspects of Christmas!
