Start of the Christmas Season

We decided to start our Christmas activities a little earlier this year. Usually we wait until after Thanksgiving to pull out any of the Christmas stuff, but last year we didn't get to move into our home until mid December, so we felt a little cheated.



So Monday of this week we decided to put up all of our Christmas decorations. Of course, since we were putting up the decorations, Rebecca suggested that we also listen to Christmas music. I resisted, but she and all of the children ganged up on me so shortly after the Christmas tunes were playing.

We had a lot of fun putting up the tree and our stockings. We also have a couple smaller decorations throughout the house, but no lights on the outside yet. We have a bunch of lights, but I still don't have a tall ladder, so that is my excuse for this year at least.








This week we also watched Home Alone and Home Alone 2. The children just laughed and laughed throughout the whole movies. They are at that age now that they just love that type of hummor.

On Saturday we did our annual decorating of the Christmas gingerbread men. You can see that in addition to gingerbread men, we also had some gingerbread women and a few gingerbread monsters.



We have been singing our Christmas hymns as well for nightly devotionals and in church today we even sang Christmas hymns. This Thursday we will also have our ward Christmas party. We are all really excited for this long Christmas season.
