...CHRISTMAS in my house.
I gotta confess, we always have intentions to get our Christmas decor up the weekend after Thanksgiving, and then we FAIL! This year was no different.
We finally got the tree up last weekend.
I did a few more touches during the week between my little Sweet P's naps (which are two at 30 minutes each - he doesn't seem to like to sleep much). I eventually gave up and decided we would have it very simple this year.
And the best part of this, THREE stockings :) All of us have the same style stockings (as do Hub's sisters, bro-in-law, and nephew). A personalized stocking is the gift from my Ma-In-Law when you enter the family.
Our dining area is ready for guests. Just in time too. We hosted a dinner guest on the 20th. And what better day; if the Mayans were right (bahahaha), best to spend the evening breaking bread in fellowship with a dear friend.
A new ornament for our tree: A depiction of our biggest gift this year.
An ornament given to Phalen from MeMe (g-ma) on the day of his dedication: December 2nd, 2012
Also a wonderful reminder for everyday (I will probably hang this in his room after Christmas).
And some Christmas fun MeMe and I were having while decorating her house.
All the presents are wrapped, stockings are stuffed, and we're ready (just in time).
Christmas Eve (tomorrow night), we will be going here (church), to enjoy what is sure to be another great sermon. Afterwards, we will have a small dinner celebration and gift exchange with my In-Laws (and I'm almost certain there will be a game of Farkle). This has become our Christmas Eve tradition :) It feels great to have traditions, but even better that Sweet P has grandparents here to spend the holidays with.
What do you do for Christmas Eve?
