The holidays are full of so many sweet memories and surprises!
These lil sweeties above were sharing popcorn and watching the Polar Express and...
not being mean to each other like they are 6 out of 7 days a week! Ugh!
This sweet cupcake masterpiece was given to me by my sweet friend Holly from Girls at Heart; you must go visit her blog and say Hello! She was one of my first good blogging friends and has made such an impact on my life! She knows of love pink and brown & sent me this cutie before our wedding! Thanks Holly!!
Here is my sweet Gavin helping me trim the tree!
This year both boys helped put ornaments on the tree with me ♥
Here is the tree when it was a work in progress...
I used red and clear lights this year, ran my ribbon vertically instead of horizontal, and purchased a new pretty red tree skirt trimmed with gold.
My Homemade Christmas swap arrived from Michele yesterday; she is so sweet that she included gifts for the boys as well:) They were so excited to get some early Christmas goodies!
Gavin was showing off his coloring book here.. they each got the book, a set of crayons, a box of posters to color, a ball, some jelly beans and a sucker!
Gage unwrapping his loot!

Michele made this ADORABLE snowman that lights up...

Hi Noelle! Your tree looks so beautiful! Your little guys look way too cute to be mean to each other, but I do remember when Jordan and Lindsey fought all the time and I just wished they could get along and now they are best of friends.
