The Beginning of Christmas 2010

I am not skipping right over Thanksgiving this year, but I forgot my camera when we headed back to LP for the holiday! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of lots of family and fun.

We came home on Saturday afternoon and slowly started pulling out the Christmas decorations. When we were downstairs, Luke found the movie Polar Express so we decided to halt all decorating and put in the movie. Then one of the most amazing things happened, Luke sat and cuddled with me for the ENTIRE movie! I have to say that was one of the best moments I have had as a mommy. Me and my little boy, snuggled up, watching one of my favorite movies during my most favorite time of year - it was the best!

Sunday we were in full-on decorating mode. Luke was as helpful as we needed him to be, which was great!

And here are some snapshots of some of our decorations!

This was the first year we hung lights up outside. Here is the big reveal - part of a strand shorted out so we had to fix that. But all in all, it looks great!
