Christmas Celebrations!

The weekend after Thanksgiving, we tore down all the fall decorations and began the Christmas festivities. Eden was great about helping decorate the tree this year... at least for about 10 minutes until every branch at her level was full.

Bentley was quite entertained by the lights and ornaments while we decorated.

Brad put lights on the outside of the house, and he had two little helpers who waited patiently at the window while he was on the roof.

I helped Eden write her letter to Santa and then she got out all her stickers and glitter and decorated it very thoroughly.

And each year the kids get a new ornament for the tree which is a fun tradition my parents used to do with us. Bentley got one that has his all his birth info on it, and right now Eden is really into Snow White so she was super excited when she opened hers. Check out this face.... priceless!

Last year Eden got the Rapunzel ornament so she has been carrying these two girls around quite a bit.

Ruby found a very cozy spot under the tree, but as presents have made their way under there she has been forced out!

This year we also have the "Elf on the Shelf" who has started visiting our house. Eden has been TOTALLY into it! His name is Tuduh, which is a weird word Eden made up a while ago and then decided it was an appropriate name for our elf. It has been a lot of fun. First thing she wants to do when she wakes up in the morning is go and find what Tudah is doing (so most these pictures she is not dressed with some awesome bed-head). Here are some of the things Tudah has been up to.

Christmas with little kids is so much fun! I love this time of year!
