Christmas Joys

I love Christmas! I love everything about the season. I love the lights, the smells, the decorations, the holiday movies and the Christmas tree! Christmas is even more fun now that we have the boys. Aydan is getting so excited, he actually has already opened all of the doors of our advent calendar. He didn't quite understand what once a day meant. Aydan loves to go on rides to see all of the lights around the city. Sam really has no idea what is going on, only that he loves to stare at the Christmas tree lights. If I could I would want to keep the Christmas decorations up year round. I mean how boring is my house once all of my decorations are down. I am oppressed with Christmas decorations, if I could I would buy everything I saw! Have you ever seen Elf? When he decorates his dad's house with all the snowflakes, glitter and tinsel? Well that is what I would love my house to look like. Over the top decorations!! Don't worry I haven't decorated my house like that...yet! Hope everybody has a festive Christmas season, and remember why we celebrate Christmas.

I know its not a Christmas pic, but isn't he so dang cute!

Aydan and his gingerbread house.

Our Chirstmas village, except most of the people are broken. Thanks Aydan!


Our Chirstmas tree, we have ornaments from places we have travelled to.

I like how you get ornaments from places you've traveled. That is a great idea!

I love Christmas too. For some reason, everything about it just puts me in a good mood. You seriously have to come see my neighbors lights. I don't think we'll need to go to temple square, we can just look out our window. It's insane.

Ditto Annie! I have been banned from buying any more Christmas decorations! It is such a wonderful time of year, and yes...kids make it an absolute blast!
