Decorations Not Complete

December 1, 2015

The decorations are not complete until the birds get a little special garland too.

Nice of you H & G and I know those birdies appreciated it.

And we have certainly not completed the decorations until we have played and played with the creche.  Love this Popsicle stick barn and signs telling Joseph and Mary it is OPEN.

Speaking of being done.  Snappy swore that by the end of January she was going to have at least completed December.  Hmmmm...that's not going to happen but maybe she can get a week or two done.  It will be slightly easier because on Christmas night Emily dropped her new phone in the toilet and lost all of her December pics!  Thank goodness she has a camera so at least some pics were still available!  

The Elf is Back

He is UpUpUp at the Humms and Scout at the Whites and beloved at both homes and he is BACK with the arrival of Christmas trees!

Did Scout put that sugar on your nose G?

Decorating at the Humms

Yes it is only the Saturday after Thanksgiving but it is time for Christmas now even though the Thanksgiving wreaths are still up!

  

 Wonder why you don't see tons of Charlotte pics?  Well...almost two year old YaYa (as she calls herself) is all about using the potty and all about being "nake-noo" so watch out for a little naked girl this Christmas!

 Keagan hung a few ornaments and then spent the rest of the time playing with this little reindeer made by Daddy Gene.  Snappy and Papa have always had one at their house and the kids love him.  When JoJo died, one of the things Snappy packed up to bring home from her house was a reindeer for the Humms and one for the Whites.  The kids never saw them until they got unpacked for this Christmas and they were so HAPPY!  This would make JoJo and Daddy Gene happy too.

Back to the Trees

Yikes!  Emily showed up with another 438 pictures from November!  Some were too cute to pass up.

Watch Out Papa

Elizabeth says she read something that says after age 58 you should not be climbing ladders.  What is this 60 year old man doing?

 Elizabeth, will you come do it next year?

Now to decorate!

No going to sleep in the car today.  

So excited to go home and put up our Christmas tree!

 Oh how we love our Christmas trees!

 Putting on the lights....see that roof peak.  That's how tall D wanted the tree to be.

 And then there are all those Christmas books that had been packed away to read.
