Christmas is on it's way!

It's official, turkey day is in the past and the tree is now up and decorated. Christmas is on it's way. Today we decorated the house and tree and put up the outside lights for Christmas. Emily is so excited, she wanted to leave milk and cookies and carrots for the reindeer out tonight! Try to explain to a 4 year old that she has to wait for a month... Here's some photos to enjoy....


And the decorations go on "oh so" carefully....

"Mommy, this is how a princess sits" Emily poses for me under the newly decorated tree.

Smile it's Christmas time!

A "Christmas Star"

Whew, 10 days after Halloween, time flies! We had a fun year this year, Emily really got into the whole thing and enjoyed being scared and taunted. We did several activities this year and she was very enthusiastic. Now on to Thanksgiving....... Then can you believe ....... CHRISTMAS! Is it really THAT time of year again? I got my camera back from repair, and it's good as new, so hopefully I will get time to take and post more photos thru the season...... Enjoy all!


Trick or Treat..... we went door to door this year in our neighborhood. All in all the weather was good, no rain and it wasn't freezing. We were out for an hour and a half, and she was done..... 2 lbs of candy later! whew.... Daddy's got some bargaining to do to get some of this good stuff!

Grammie came over and helped make pumpkin cookies for the Holiday

Anyone wanna homemade Emily cookie! She was so proud......

Another trip to the pumpkin patch! We made 3 this year, one with the twins next door, one with her school field trip and one with another family friend..... Whew, I am pumpkin patched out......
