Christmas Decorations & Traditions!

We had so much fun celebrating Christmas all month long with Emery.  She truly got into some fun traditions this year, which made it all the more fun for Kyle and I.  I wish so much we could leave decorations up all year round.  Something about those twinkle lights!

Love having Will's monogrammed stocking up with ours this year!  Also, I finally got a Christmas verse sign done this year for our mantel... yeah!

Of course "Roger" made his appearance and she had such a blast finding him everyday. We don't focus at all on her being "good" and him relaying that to Santa, but instead Roger and Santa want Emery to be kind and focus on the true meaning of Christmas.... Jesus' Birth!

She made all of our Christmas wrapping paper this year.  Packing paper with fun stencils and paint makes for lots of fun:

Pretty finished product:

Peppermint melts.  Supposed to be ornaments but Tyson would eat those up in a second I think!

Lots of cookie baking for friends and neighbors:

Ninja cookies!

Gingerbread house time:

Christmas outfits:

Unbelievably we knocked out Christmas shopping for everyone in one night... with the kids in tow no less!  Celebrated with pizza :)

Emery LOVED holding her own candle this year:

She was so excited they wrote her name on her Hot Chocolate cup:

So fun being in town and having our own Christmas traditions!
