It's being to look a LOT like.....

CHRISTMAS!!

 

I was just going to put up a lil tree I had gotten last year that was perfect for the "pad" (a.k.a James parents basement). But when I told my kids they wanted to get a REAL tree!! At our old house I always did 2 fake trees, a kids one down & a more "fancy" one upstairs.... The last 2 years @ our house we just did one REAL tree upstairs & my kids LOVED it!! So last week we went & got a REAL tree. James worked last weekend so the kids & I decorated it. It was fun!! Kobe loves Christmas music so Mads got that goin for us & we gotter done!!

 

This year I'm kinda having a hard time getting in the "spirit" so I haven't put up/out any other decorations, so hopefully I can get that done this weekend.... Here is a lil photo of our tree. It's not my favorite, but it does the job!! =)

 

 

Last night was our ward party & Santa was there... Well neither of my kids wanted to sit on Santa's lap. Kinda made me sad, they are both getting too big! Kobe said he did at first but then once we got in line he changed his mind. :'( Kinda sad to think I will have a teenager next month & my baby boy will be there before I know it. I pulled Kobe aside & asked if he still believed in Santa & he said YES!! LoL I've always told my kids that if they don't believe they don't receive....

 

I'm kinda sad but in away I guess it's good, cause I'd rather they know & focus on the true meaning of Christmas!!

 

I use to not get very excited about Christmas, but sense my kids have been old enough to realize what's going on I LOVE it!! I think I get more excited than they do!! I hate waiting to give them there gifts... I am such a sucker like that, yesterday I let Maddi wear one of the shirts I got her... LoL

 

ONLY  17 MORE DAYS!!!
