Soakin' it all in

I love Christmas time more than any other time of year (even more than summer...and anyone who knows me, knows how much I LOVE summer). With less than 2 weeks until the big day, we are doing as much as we can to "soak it all in"!!!

The girls got their Christmas dresses in the mail and have already got to wear them to church once. This year we are going to have them wear their Christmas dresses when we go see Santa...hopefully it'll make for a better picture:)
I made my Nanamo bars a little early this year. They turned out pretty well, except I messed up on melting the chocolate yet again this year...darn that chocolate--I can NEVER get it right!!
We've made a few crafts, including these colorful stables. Miley thought she'd like to drink the paint water...forgetting that she ISN'T allowed on the table!

Mike actually put up lights outside this year! So far it's just one strand of white lights, but we'll build up our collection one after-Christmas sale at a time:)AND the MOST exciting thing...we put up our tree this past weekend!!! It was Tyson's turn to put the star on AND the kids did a beautiful job of decorating the rest of the tree. I LOVE it:)

I love their dresses -- did someone make them or you or did you order them from somewhere? I can't believe there's just 2 short days left.

I love all your Christmas traditions! Your tree looks so nice with the colored lights, too.

Your house looks so festive, toobad we have to take down the decorations after Christmas is over. The dress look like they fit quite well, I'm glad. You should come up here, with the snow and cold weather, then it would really feel like Christmas!
