It's starting to look a lot like Christmas...

I can't believe we're down to...I'm glad I started shopping early this year...I'm just about done. And I'm proud to say that I made quite a few gifts this year. I can't post some of the stuff I made yet, but I've already handed out these Christmas Countown Blocks...I love them!

I made this set for my own family and 3 other sets for friends with little kids. Of course my kids love that they get to change the blocks to the correct day each day.

I think they're so fun!

We had promised the boys that we could get out the Christmas tree and decorations when we got back home after Thanksgiving, so after we unpacked all of our stuff, we spent the rest of the day decorating.

They LOVED it!

One day we will go cut down a real tree...but for now we set up our artificial, pre-lit, oh so convenient one. We don't really have enough room upstairs for it, so it goes in the basement.

A few other decorations...

I love my Nativity Set my Mom gave me last year :)

This is the tv in our basement...it was my Grandpa's... Christmas will be here before we know it...Ashton comes home from school singing Jingle Bells and Santa Claus is Comin' To Town and Gunnar follows him around trying to sing right along with him. The excitement is in the air...it sure is fun with little kids!
