Some Holiday Cheer

A Christmas wreath from a friend many years ago reminds me of her. Thanks Julie!

Our entry way. I love that you can see the garland and tree as you walk in.

Cupboards wrapped in paper and lighted garland across shelves. Cozy. (You can see touches of Kendyl with the glued on paper snowflakes)
*No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you... Seth is doing the dishes. :)
A jolly gingerbread house made by us and a beautiful poinsettia from a friend.
To the left of the tree is a little basket of Christmas books. I love seeing the girls reading them to each other and spending so much time over in that corner.



Also in that corner on the window sill is Kendyl's little nativity collections she plays with constantly, drops and breaks and literally loves them to pieces.

Presents waiting to be opened. Little elf bells from their shoes hidden throughout the house for the girls to find showing them Santa's elves are watching to see if they are naughty or nice.
My stack of cards and stationary still to be made and sent out.
Our little door of love reminding us of friends and family.
Lights at temple square. (I like this picture I took) :)

Christmas performances.

I Love the elf bells idea. That is so sweet. Much better than what I did...

I stooped to a new low and told my son I was going to call Santa when he was being naughty. I even picked up the phone. I think I will need to start saving for therapy for the poor little traumatized guy. I had to do a little, okay a lot of repenting that night.
