fa la la!

here's a peek at some of our pre-holiday prep! we've been decorating the house (which my hubby calls "sprigging" because i like to put pine branches and candles around.)

we got the tree this weekend and bb loved decorating it.
"you 'hink THIS one goes next, mommy?"










a new tradition for us--advent stockings.









first we light the candle. it's a nutcracker candle. bb calls it "christmas man." and when he sees the match he says, "fire!"

then we get a stocking to open. one of his favorite gifts is pictured above--wooden acorns. i know, crazy! but anything that fits in a little dumptruck. . .






and the tree.
