deck the halls

If I haven't mentioned it before....I absolutely love the holidays. There is something about having your Christmas Tree up, your house strung with lights, and oh yes...the excitement of a young child around.

This is what our house looked liked only minutes after Thanksgiving. The tree went up (thanks Mom, Dad, and Ly Ly), Christmas music was playing throughout the house, and instantly my mood lifted about 10 degrees.

It isn't even about the presents. I love the anticipation of visiting family members, the endless parties, and just the sights and sounds of Christmas.

Here are our stocking hanging over our unfinished fireplace???? Check out the little white stocking attached to Lyza's stocking in the middle. We couldn't forget about our little bundle that will be with us next Christmas.

I have to admit that having Lyza around for Christmas makes everything 100 times better. I love that when you ask her about Christmas she say, "That is baby Jesus' birthday." And when I ask her what she wants Santa to bring her she replies, "Just one gift." I am enjoying this selflessness now, for I know it won't last for too may more Holiday's to come.

So to you all I wish you a fun and exciting holiday season. May your hot chocolate be warm, your wallets be full, but most of all may you still BELIEVE in the spirit of Christmas!
