Decorating

Yesterday the girls and I made pictures to decorate our front window. I cut out some snowflakes, Christmas trees and stars and they colored them.

Then last night we finally got to decorate the tree.

Lilah had been dying to decorate the tree since Jon put it up on Sunday and we finally got to it last night.
(Monday night we fixed the tree and itร‚ย  got a little late to decorate so we just watched Shrek the Halls on TV.)

We had fun and Lilah loved decorating. Eden loved playing in the stockings.

Believe me when I say we don’t have enough ornaments to have 8 this close together.

It was Eden’s turn to put on the angel. Her mouth is full of a marshmallow that was in her hot chocolate, and it was a large one, not the small ones.

Since we only set up 2/3rds of the tree we had extra lights and I put some in our front window today. Lilah said I was the best at making Christmas fun.

Also, here are some pictures from us making a gingerbread house with Carolyn on Saturday so Jon could study.ร‚ย  She graciously let us give her company all afternoon, and into the evening,ร‚ย  at the house she’s watching since we had to wait 1 hour for the walls to dry and then another 2 hours to let the roof set. The girls played and watched Dora while we talked and took napsร‚ย  waiting to decorate the house.

Lilah eating candy too.

The girls also want to eat it right away, but I’m making them wait till after Christmas.

    That’s so funny! My girls did the same thing at their grandma’s house when she upnpacked the stockings, however she has all different colored stockings and they didn’t have any matching ones ๐Ÿ˜‰
