pre-Christmas pics

Here are a few of my favorite pre-Christmas pics:

A couple of weeks ago, we had a sleepover with my niece and nephews. It was so fun having them over on a school night and getting to help them with their homework. This is Cole & Clay asleep in our guest bedroom. Clay is the one hanging over the side. Every time I checked on them, he was in a new crazy position on a completely different part of the bed. Way funny.

Here is Faith sleeping on our couch with her "night-night dolly" that is almost as tall as her. Faith is even pretty when she sleeps.

Here's Cole singing in his 1st grade Christmas program. He is the one on the top row in stripes. He knew every single word to every song. "Must Be Santa" was my favorite. Clay was playing sick that day so that he wouldn't get embarrassed singing in front everyone. :)

And our Christmas decorations. Scott got to pick the tree this year--Charlie Brown tree with large colored lights. It's quite different from the full tree (or as Scott would call it "bush") with white lights that I picked last year, but it has really grown on me. It feels vintage. And I've decided this year that I really like vintage Christmas decorations (if I even know what that means).

One of my favorite decorations we have is this paper Santa that Scott made in 3rd grade. Totally vintage.

And last but not least, our ginormous wreath. It didn't look nearly as big in the bin at CostCo...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
