Getting Ready for Christmas...

So, we decided not to put up a tree this year, because of Kate and her curious little hands. But, we still want the house to be festive for Christmas, so we'll of course be putting up the outside lights, and then we put up some decorations inside, as well (we're by no means done, of course!) We listened to Christmas music as we decorated, and it was so fun to have Gail still here; it's not the same as celebrating Christmas with her, but it was still fun!


Well, it's a good shot of the dress, at least!


Trying to get the camera...


I love this dress; one of our Black Friday finds that my mom just couldn't resist!


Why won't you hold still so I can take a picture?

Our beautiful Irish nativity; I love it!


So beautiful; I love the green and white color scheme
