Christmas is Coming

 We are so excited for Christmas in our new home.  We found a beautiful tree and have been attending some fun Christmas events.  It's coming so quickly.  I felt funny getting ready for Christmas around Halloween time and I would have started earlier knowing all that we wanted to do.  We've been trying to work on the house so it looks good when family comes.  Maybe I'm nesting-I don't know, but I have a need to organize the whole entire house.  We've been buying containers galore to organize it all.



 Carleton's a good sport.  The kids love scarves-so we all wore them out the other night...including Carleton.
 


Santa train.  A beautifully lit train came and the kids gave an unwrapped toy for it to take to boys and girls.  Apollo wasn't so sure about giving the cool planes away until he found out he got a free ice cream certificate.  Annie went right up to a fireman and gave her toy.

 Tom's Farms.

 The kids love decorating.  They have their own tree this year using a free fake tree we got.  They made a lot of the ornaments.  We picked out this fresh tree that turned out beautiful.  It takes up our whole toy room.
