Christmas preparations

In addition to the decorating going on at Nana and Papas for the holiday celebrations (including 225 people through the house when it was on a house tour!) we have been doing many things to get ready for the holidays!!
When Nana and Papa decided not to get a real tree this year, we decided we were going to get one (good thing since we didn't find the base to our fake tree when we opened the box!) So we were on our way to the tree farm, and convinced Papa to come with us! Now we both have real ones!! and, we got a fraiser fir...from the mountains of north carolina! i was so excited!!
So here we are with our treeEllie dancing for Matt during the decoratingEllies candy cane sectionputting on the stockings!!Matt helping with the star!! ~
Another one of our nightly traditions is to see "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse"
One of the houses a few blocks from our house has a HUGE light display!
The pictures do no justice, but in the second one, you can see Mickey and Minnie!
St. Nick's Day is a fun holiday in our house!
These are the pj's that grandma gave us
"What Santa doesn't bring, Grandma will."
