Christmastime Is Here!

Taylor lost her first tooth and just in time for Christmas! Devon told her that the Tooth Fairy would pay her according to how much her tooth weighed. Evidently, it weighed A LOT because the Tooth Fairy gave her $2! She was so excited! For the first 2 or 3 days, she carried her "cash," as she called it, around with her everywhere she went. I just love her toothy grin!
It is now officially Christmas at our home. We decided that our 6-year old, 39 dollar special from Wal-Mart, Christmas tree had seen better days and purchased a new one. As you can see, Taylor and Luke were good helpers and couldn't wait to get the tree put together.
And, of course, no Christmas Tree decorating event would be complete without setting the timer on the camera and posing the family in front of the tree for a picture. Merry Christmas!

Tis the season! The kids look so excited! Taylor's smile is sooo cute. I can't believe she lost her first tooth. Merry Christmas!

Great Picture of the whole family. I love Taylors dress it is so cute. The tree looks great!!

That is an annoyingly cute picture taken with a time! I'm so jealous! We tried and tried this year (tripod and remote control even) and failed. I ended up just using one of the kids for the card. My husband is as bad as the children, too. Could I just use your picture and pretend it's us?

I meant timer.

We need to get a tree still...I still can't believe it's already December! Your kids do look really cute in their matching outfits. I love the Christmas music playing, too!

Okay... I may have said this like a million times, but I'm saying it again: you have gorgeous kids!!! They are so beautiful. And you look so beautiful too! I LOVE decorating the Christmas tree every year. :)

You guys are soo cute! What a darling family. I'm so impressed that you guys have your tree up. We had fun over at your house the other day. I still haven't changed my blog, but plan to. Your training wasn't in vain. Love the holiday music!

Are you sure you should have Michael Buble playing? He just seems too much of a scandal-maker lately. I demand he be removed. If Devon won't let me watch a Jane Fonda movie, I don't want Michael Buble on your blog. I like the kids' matching shirts. I still don't think that "putting a tree together" is as good as the real deal Home Depot live tree! I guess it'll do. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I have to agree with Michael, what is with the fake tree??? Devon I am really disappointed in you, we had fakes our whole lives, can't you get a real one??? Home Depot has great deals.

I have to admit, I would love to have a real tree; I love shopping for a tree in the cold and the smell of a real tree, but Devon has put his foot down and refuses to buy a real one! However, I do really love our new tree. It looks very real and I don't have the mess of pine needles to clean up!

Cute, festive pictures. I'm impressed that you could get everyone to look at the camera at the same time. We still have our small "first married" tree. I want something bigger but I would be sad to give it up.
