It is beginning to look like Christmas........



 Not sure I could get any further behind in my blogging.
My last post was Halloween
and now Christmas if fast approaching. Just a little over a week away.
Even though the house has been decorated and ready for Christmas for over a month
the outside is just barely starting to look ready........
but with snow the last couple of days, and a couple more days of expected snow,
I think it will be a white Christmas.

 Bobby was up last night and he knows how much I hate the snow,
but he kept talking about how beautiful it was.
I took the above pictures today and have to admit that yes it is beautiful,
I just wish it would figure out a way to stay off of my driveway!!


If the only thing I had to do was sit around and enjoy it's beauty I would be good!
If I lived anywhere else I would be the biggest fan of snow!
But as it is, I am referred to as the "Snow Grinch"
But, in the Spirit of Christmas,
I am going to try to change my attitude for a week or so and try to enjoy it!!


The tree is up!!
I got a new tree this year!  Noah picked a flocked one!
It is 12 feet, and I love it!
Mostly because all of the lights work and none of the branches are broken!!



The Stockings are all hung! We do not have room for too many more.....
Love seeing all of these stockings as we add new members to the family!
Would not mind making room for a few more grandchildren............


Nearly every shelf in the family room is filled with Noah's Nativity collection!
It seems we add a couple every year!


I love the Eskimo Nativity!

There are too many to take pictures of but these are favorites.


The above nativity I found in Hawaii last year,
and below is my favorite.
I got it a few years ago in Mexico.
It is completely made out of leather. I love, love, love it!
Loved it so much, when I bought it I gave them exactly what they were asking for it!
No bartering..............



Every year I try to get a new Children's Christmas book.
This is the one I got this year.
I have always loved hearing this story from when President Thomas Monson
was a boy. So fun they made it into a picture book!



Got this picture for Noah this year and am using it for a center piece!
So sweet..............

Love the Holiday Season.............
It will be gone before we know it, so I am just trying to enjoy it
and not be so busy and stressed trying to get ready that I don't.
So far, so good.........We will see how I hold out though with just one week left!!
