Holiday Pics From Our Home

Happy Holidays everyone!

According to my 10 year old daughter, Emily,
(who gives me the Christmas countdown every

single day if not twice a day) there are only

11 more days until Christmas!! Whew, are you ready?

Well, I just wanted to share a few photos from here

in our home while we were putting up the tree about

two weeks ago, some photos of our recently fallen snow,

and just a couple cute pics mixed in with the rest.

I never have fully charged camera batteries when I

seem to need them the most, so these pics of the

Christmas tree going up are not the best because I

had to use my phone, but never-the-less shots I

HAD to take for my scrapbooks. This is the first year

that Carter has really been able to do much or even

attempt to understand the whole Christmas thing so

we're getting a kick out of watching him enjoy this

season! Bodey, our lab that we adopted back in June

from a shelter down near Louisville, has been having

a blast in the snow and will spend lots of time running

through it, rubbing his face in it, and just lying in it so

the cold doesn't seem to affect him at all.....glad

someone can enjoy it!! Anyway, on with the pics!

Here is one of the teacher gifts that I made.

I printed this little cute saying from online but can't

remember for the life of me where I found it, sorry.

Emily came downstairs dressed like this with her Santa

hat that she decorated all by herself when it was time

for her to do some Christmas shopping with Dad...

she had to have been soooo cute shopping around

all the stores and the mall looking like that!

Here is Carter hiding behind the Christmas tree

trying to sneak a PLASTIC candy cane off of the tree

and eat it without anyone noticing....and did for a

couple of minutes so hopefully licking plastic doesn't

do any long term damage!

Here's my sweet Bodey boy wearing Carter's

reindeer antlers that of course Emily put on him.

Bodey was such a good sport and let us take pictures,

then immediately went to ly down on his bed and

paw them off! He's sooo cute! :)

And lastly, Bodey enjoying our first snowfall.

I'm not sure if he has experienced much snow before

because he sure acted like it was the strangest thing

he'd ever seen but after a few minutes of exploring

he absolutely LOVES IT!!

Well, I think that's all for today.

I have photos that I really want to take of my

vintage Christmas tree ornaments passed down from

my grandmother but I'm having issues getting the

photos to turn out the way I want them...I'm going

to try a few different techniques and get those

posted later this week...I just LOVE those ornaments!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

LOVES :) -Sarah
