tis the season

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! it's seriously one of my favorite times of year :) i can't get enough christmas music or christmas decorations or just talk of christmas, and i love that it's december 1st today! our family usually decorates midway through december just cuz we get a real tree from up in the mountains, and it usually takes some time to get our schedules all right to get us all up there together for the annual trip. this year though, we got some friends to get us a tree, and i am proud and very happy to say that it is up at this very moment, so we get to celebrate christmas in a house that looks christmasy for the whole month of december - yay! we go charlie brown style and are proud of it!

we decorated last night and videotaped some of our uusal dancing and singing and silly arguing about what should go where for cars down in arkansas. we love decorating around this house, and mom keeps racking up the decorations year after year so that we don't even have enough space in our larger than life house to put everything up, and it's awesome!




dust and i love decorating too, but we are living with my family this year, so we weren't exactly sure how it was going to work. well when our friends went to get christmas trees, i asked them to get 2 for our family - one for our usual upstairs location and one for mine and dust's little basement dwelling downstairs :) i know it's silly to have a christmas on 2 floors of the same house, but we set our own little tree up last night in a corner in our bedroom, and i love it!!!! it was so fun to turn the lights on while dust read and i wrote in my journal last night, and we have our little advent calendar and stockings hung on the wall with care and some other little decorations up too. we love our little christmas room, and i can't wait to feed the baby by the tree and to bring him home to a house full of christmas spirit. only 24 more sleeps!

lol, I am in love with your little tree! What a great little one to have for your brand new baby boy to come home to! Ohand I am SERIOUSLY sick of calling him baby boy or baby Tolman, I just can't wait to meet him and know him as... someone with a name!!!The house looks great I can't wait to be home, I know it was my brother who married into your family and not be but I have chosen to make my self an honnerary member and it just won't be a trip home with out my fair share of time in the hill home!
Also you look so cute, I just can't belive that you have 10 days left till they induce you, Yippie! and just 17 days till we are home. Cand wait!
