it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas among other things

Well I've noticed a common theme in blogs this week...Christmas Time!!  So here's my "Getting ready for Christmas" post.  So we are going to Utah for Christmas, it's true.  Yet we have 20 days before we leave.  It would have felt empty and un-holidayish if we didn't do some sort of Christmas decoration so on Sunday night, we busted out all that we have...which isn't that much and it's probably a good thing.  For how little we have, it took all night to set up!
Our many boxes pre-decorating stage.
Kate's first Christmas!


So here's view of some of what we did:

There's other stuff and we fixed up the tree but it wasn't on the same day.  And I hate waiting to upload pictures so that's all you're going to get in this post.

The rest of just some fun ones of our days sometimes.  The ones of Kate are actually from her experiencing Solid Foods for the first time.  She did pretty well but that night, she was grunting all night so I don't think she's quite ready for it yet...





I was getting ready to give Kate a bath.  I got it all ready, went to get her and this is what I find when I came back.  Such a sneaky devil!  But such a beautiful one :)

Your girl's look so cute in these pictures. I love the one's of Kate in front of the tree and Emma in the tub. My mom has pictures of me doing that and I have some of Ryan. I love how they don't even realize, "hey I have my clothes on still!" But it's hard to get mad because they are SO proud of themselves!

I love your Christmas village. I, too, will have one some day:)

Good Job Lyssa on the decorating! I am proud especially when you won't even be there! The countdown has begun until you are in Utah and I can't wait for the cousins to fight. My bet is between Emma and Kindra! :)
