Christmas Decorations

Here are some pictures around the house of our decorations- enjoy!
My mother made this advent calendar 40 some years ago. It was a favorite tradition of mine growing up and I enjoy doing it with my children too!
Every year our Christmas cards get put up on the mirror in our living room. It is always fun to see how families change, kids grow and how people are blessed!
My mother also made these stockings. Mine is original from 40 years ago (Missy). She has since made them for the other members of my family as well as my siblings, their spouses and all the grandchildren. It is something that we all have in common- we can't say that about a lot of things these days!
Pictures with Santa are a fun tradition. Here are 5 years worth with Jason and Nathan. We didn't get to take one in 2010 or 2011, but I just love seeing my little babies and how they have grown!!
Our tree!! I got it a month ago and have learned my lesson. The tree is now dry and brittle. I am taking it down as soon as Christmas day is over. I do appreciate the fragrant smell a real tree offers vs. an artificial one!!
