Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

December6

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care…

For a minute.  I started having visions of Tessa pulling on the stockings and those heavy stocking holders crashing down on her head.  I got nervous and took them down.  Maybe next year.

The tree is trimmed.  (The photos are more for my own record than your enjoyment because other peoples trees all start to look the same, don’t they?)

For those who have been asking for more house pictures…I’ve heard you but there isn’t much exciting to showcase right now.  The tree is currently in our empty eat in dining area.

Tessa is wearing some of her holiday finery.  And you’ll notice all of the photos/prints in the  background waiting to be hung so you see…we are still a work in progress.  One of these days I’ll take some more photos.  Once things are more settled.

    I actually had the heavy metal stocking holder hitting a kid’s head happen with our first. Corner of the heavy thing right to the forehead!!!! We use Command hooks ever since…the girls don’t have as strong of heads! 🙂

    Looks great! We’re toddler-proofing our holiday decorations too. And going slow with putting them up. We’re trying to get a feel for what they will bug and what they will leave alone.

    Love Tessa’s outfit, and the hat!!:) And, I know how you feel about missing out. We all feel that way about our oldest. I still think that true of Cassie, but the good news is that she is older, and I can give her more time (you know, when Reese is gone). It comes back around. And, well, she’s always been a Daddy’s girl. I have one of those. Sometimes it’s hard to take when they want Daddy.

    Your tree is gorgeous……..and I liked “snooping” around the pics for some house porn!!
