It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Christmas time is Spencer's and now I think Kelan's favorite time of the year. Spencer gets so excited for the decorations, shopping, present wrapping... pretty much the whole bit. Spencer made us put up our decorations early this year. We did it the week before Thanksgiving but I was a little to embarrassed to post the pictures that early. Bottom line my Boys LOVE Christmas!!!

Spencer and Kelan putting the tree together.

Kelan strategically placing every ornament on the tree... all on the same branch.

The next morning Kelan came running into our room and said "Mama Christmas downstairs!!" every morning the first thing he does is plug in the Christmas lights.

The wreath that I decorated.


Let it snow, let it snow, let it Snow...
I have always asked everyone about the winters here and they all have said it doesn't snow much. They say it is freezing but it is mostly ice... they were wrong this year. For two days straight it snowed and snowed and snowed. I think we got about 12 inches of snow. They cancelled school and closed the doors of many businesses.

Kelan loves to go out in the snow to play for about a minute before he says "burrr it's cold, go inside please!"

This is Monday morning... look at Kelan's car.

This is Tuesday... where did Kelan's car go?

Gingerbread Houses
This would have to be one of my favorite traditions. It was fun doing it with friends who share the love of gingerbread house making this year.

Say cheese and Kelan will automatically close those darn eye's.

This was Kelan's contribution to the gingerbread house making... cleaning up all the frosting and candy.


Pure yumminess!

Santa Clause came to town!
Kelan absolutely Loved Santa this year. He was talking about going to Santa's house for days and days. We finally did it on Friday after Spencer's Finals. We went to Bass Pro Shop and they had the cutest set up ever. Best of all you got a free 4x6 picture with Santa and his reindeer. Kelan got to sit on Santa's lap 3 times because of technical difficulties with the camera and he loved it.


Kelan cheesing it up with Santa.

Me and Kelan hanging out with Frosty at the North Pole.

They had a little table to write Santa a letter and a mailbox to put it in. Kelan and Spencer are thinking so hard about what they want for Christmas.

One of Kelan's favorite parts... the choo choo's.
