With a late Thanksgiving - it was a quick turnaround to get Christmas up before December!
We made Anna (and the boys) a felt tree to play with so she would leave the other one alone.
It ended up not being an issue - but the felt tree was fun regardless!
Loved watching the boys show Anna all of the decorations and holiday fun.
Special hats, special blankets...
Huge snow globes that light up and sing!
This girl was so excited!
Love this photo too - reminds me of our cat growing up...
Anna is quickly learning the joys of the holidays - often wearing bells around the house and plopping herself into any lap to read a Christmas book.
Got to celebrate with some of my favorite people!
And we even took a shift ringing bells!
James caught on quickly and did an awesome job!
Isaac loved the stick to push the money in the most - and once he realized that loud and proud voices of gratitude got you more money - he was good too!
I mean who wouldn't want to donate when these are the kids shouting
"Merry Christmas" and "Thank you!" at the door?!?
We got through just about all of the Christmas movies -
saving White Christmas for our wrapping night!
And our holiday card for 2019 --- again pretty joyful around here!
