Christmas Extravaganza!!!!

YIIPPEEEE!!! It's that time of year and I cannot wait for Christmas =)  It's going to be so fun this year with Aedan finally accepting Santa and wanting to be within 10 feet of him.  Last year was a horrible experience with him and as you will see in the photo with Santa, that Addyson really didn't care for him too much.  For the most part all the Christmas decorations are up.  With school and two kids and soon to be two dogs ::cough cough:: what? I still have some tweaking to do ;)  Thankfully, I only have 2 more weeks left in this semester.  I do have a small house so I am not able to do all that I would want with the decorating since I'm being invaded by toys and lots of furniture.

Me picking out our first real Christmas Tree @ Lowes

The bar area ... It's the only place I could put up the stockings  ((Thanks Josie for that idea!!))

OH, and I can't forget my cute little Christmas Story set by Fisher Price Little People =) It's perfect if you have little kids.  You don't have to worry about them breaking it!  I got it as a gift last year so I couldn't even begin to tell you where it's from. 

The whole bar

The living room.  Oh, HEY husband =)

The ledge in my dining room

The leaning shelf in my dining room =)

The TOP of my Christmas Tree!! I absolutely LOVE it.  Pictures dont do it justice, you would have to see it in person.  I put so much stuff on it and it looks awesome!  You can see my little butterflies sticking out =) eeekkkk

AHhhH.  Finished product ... maybe lol

I'll post the pictue of my kids with Santa whenever I get the chance.  =) 

Love,

P.S. - Meet our new little girl, Brownie.  She is a pure chocolate lab and she's just the cutest wittle puppyyyy.  I couldn't resist from keeping her a secret from Josh.  This is "his" Christmas present (it's OUR dog to include the babies, but i'll make him feel special lol PLUS I'm sure Aedan will think it's his as he does with everything).  I put the deposit down on her before knowing that he was getting deployed to Afghanistan in April.  SOOO, just adding one more thing to my plate but I have confidence that she will be MUCH easier to train than our English Bulldog, Bubba.  At least I hope so =)
