It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Yes...it's my favorite time of the year! I tried so hard this year to wait until after Thanksgiving to start on Christmas preparations. But I didn't quite make it. The day before Thanksgiving we went Christmas tree shopping and got our first real tree. It was a momentous occasion. We waited until after Thanksgiving to put on the ornaments as least to do it with Leila. So fun to start traditions with our sweet baby!

Unwrapping ornaments...and of course I'm in my Christmas jammies! 

Leila hanging her first ornament.

And our first Christmas lights!!!

Wrapping presents

Package from Gram Rox...the presents went under the tree but Leila had fists full of candy within seconds.

Wrapping presents isn't Jeremy's strong suit so I wrap all the presents in our house. Sometimes I like to take advantage of this. :) 

The Gingerbread House

I'm so glad that I got to be a part of this tradition this year. The fanciest gingerbread house I ever made. Thanks to Pargie for teaching me the ropes!

It's wintertime and we are pulling out all the cute winter clothes. Only she could pull of this ladybug beanie!

My favorite part about wintertime? Staying inside in my jammies, snuggling, and drinking hot coca. Now I have someone to do it with when Jeremy is gone! (Except for the hot cocoa of course!)

A few of Jeremy's DPT friends wanted to make gingerbread houses to start off the season. We hosted and had a blast! For never having done it before they really kicked our butts! 

I couldn't be more excited for Christmas!
