Set up for Christmas

Our Christmas season got a major jump start when we attended the festival of trees in Dillon the second week of November. It was small, but charming. Aj got to think really hard about what he wanted for Christmas and then tell Santa all about it.

He wouldn't sit on his lap.

Aj's favorite tree was donated by one of Joe's office staff. 

Andy wanted nothing to do with Santa, or the trees. He just wanted cookies. 

We always set up our Christmas things the monday after Thanksgiving. It has become a wonderful traditional Family Home Evening activity.

Andy loved putting on his very own ornament

Kylie joins us for Family Home Evening Almost every week. We love having her there with us!

Our stocking hung on our new hearth.

Aj was really big into the Santa thing this year. He was so excited to finally figure out how it all works. We wrote a letter, took it to the special Santa box at the post office and saw Santa again at the library, just to be sure he knew what AJ really wanted,
