Christmas Preparations

So I am a bit behind and that is just fine with me but that does mean I am going to highlight our Christmas season and then do our Christmas post.  Having moved around the holidays I did find them to be a bit more stressful this year than in the past and I hope to never have to move around Christmas again.  The month of December was really warm in Denver so we were able to do lots of outdoor stuff.  Here are some highlights.
 
Symeon help hang our outside Christmas lights

Symeon and some of his Christams baked goods


Our December trip to the zoo in short sleeves






Decorating our Christmas Tree






Our resident light checker









The kids had so much fun decorating this year.  We decided to go with the basic tree this year because we thought the temptation for Babes would be to great and we were right she broke about 10 different bulbs over the 2 weeks our tree was up.  I think by next year we will be able to put up all our memory ornaments and not have to worry.  Symeon already asked if next year we can get a tree as big as the house so we will see it will surely be bigger than this year since we will not be moving next Christmas and hopefully our energy will not be drained from moving across the country.

Thanks so much for the updates. Love the new look here! Sorry your Christmas wasn't all it could have been...such abummer!

LOVE the two pics of the kids on the ladder decorating the tree. You should frame those two side by side for a Christmas decoration next year.
