it's begining to look alot like christmas...

i love christmas time!!! saturday after we were all unpacked from our trip we started pulling out the christmas stuff. it's never too early, in fact i keep my nativity set up year round! mostly because i think it is too beautiful to go in a box! thanks to dave i now have the complete set. it's the set by willow tree, very nice, and every year for my birthday dave has given me a few new pieces. this year, he completed the set. it's so simple, yet so defined...i love it! anyways, back to the story at hand...we got out the christmas stuff and began the decorating. the tree is up, the stockings are hung and it's wonderful. we topped the afternoon off with hot chocolate and christmas music. i think the best part of the day was jimmy, we have recently nicknamed him the "party planner" he loves to be in charge and direct and organize everything!!! and he was in full force saturday as we decorated. in fact that night we had friends over, and first thing he did was show them around and point out all the decorations. later when we put him to bed he began crying because he was going to miss the party he spent all day preparing for. it was really cute!!!
