Summer's first special ornament from Nana

Every year my mom gets special onaments for the grandkids and its so cute cause my niece and nephew totally look forward to getting them each year and putting them on Nana and Papa's Christmas Tree. My mom gets 2, one for their tree and one for our tree. So this year Summer got her first special Christmas ornament from Nana. She had made footprint of Summer's foot and got it made into an ornament. It is really special and Dave and I really loved it.

Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas....

So we finally got our Christmas tree tonight. It's been a hectic holiday season as we thought we were gonna move this weekend but decided to move it a couple weeks back(good choice) but we were determined to get our tree and get some decorations up. It was a rainy night but ended up being a wonderful night. There wasn't a big selection of trees yet we managed to get a really nice one. Then we went and got some peppermint mochas and looked at some lights. When we got home Dave got the tree up and we started getting a few lights and decorations up with a fire going and while listening to Christmas music. At last it feels like Christmas!!!! It's been hard to get into the spirit this year with all the remolding and house crazies but we made it!! Here are few pictures from the Christmas tree outing and with our tree. I love Summer all bundled up!! So sweet.
Love and blessings and hope this week before Christmas you can slow down to embrace the hope, peace and joy this season gives through the birth of the savior Jesus Christ! ( i know i need to.)
Merry Christmas!
Julie, Dave and Summer
