It's Christmas time!

When Ben was away at Mom and Dad's, we figured it would be a good opportunity to pull out all the Christmas decorations from the crawlspace and set some of them up. We left the big tree to be decorated, hoping we could do it all together, but didn't really work out that way since we all got sick with the flu! It was done in small doses! The last few years we have set up a little tree (which I decorated for Ben for the front window!) and I realize that I don't really have many non-breakable ornaments!

It snowed a lot on Saturday/Sunday, but then the rain came and washed it all away. Mike built Ben a snowman! Lola didn't like it so much and kept barking at it.. silly dog. We didn't get a change to go play out in it this time, because he had a bad couch and whatnot, so hopefully it'll snow again and we can use his snow pants and the sled!

Ben's tree!

The wreath I made!


Our mantle.. we are having Christmas at our house this year. Mom and Dad are bringing Mike's Granny, too! Will be lots of fun :D


The big fake tree lacking in decorations! But Mike did a fab job putting the lights on! Note the reindeer in the bottom right corner... it "walks" and sings a song and Ben HATES it! He kicks it repeatedly and runs away!
