It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

 After our visit with Santa on Friday, we returned home to decorate the house. The girls were just as excited to decorate as they were to see Santa. Aubrey had been asking me for weeks when we could decorate for Christmas.

She was such an awesome helper. I really don't like to decorate - I like the end result but not the process. But, Aubrey kept me going all day with her help and enthusiasm!

They both decorated the trees with very little help from me. They are not perfect, but definitely good enough!

Aubrey had a system, red ornament then gold ornament . . .

Brooke insisted that she do it all by herself. So, she only put a few on. Our hooks are kinda tricky. But, she was happy taking her sweet time on each one!

Here she is working so hard to get that hook on the tree!

Then we moved to the family room for tree #2. They were just as excited to keep on tree decorating. There's no stopping them!

When they were done I looked at the tree and had a good giggle. There was a lack of ornaments on the top half of the tree! Too funny. Later Aubrey got a stool and evened it out a bit.

 

Next was the Nativity's. Brooke especially loved setting up the nativity's. Good thing I have a TON of them to set up! The girls had to take turns on who got to put baby Jesus in the scene. Too sweet!

 Aubrey hung in there and helped me put ALL of the decorations up. She was sad when we were done because she wanted to decorate more. What a little cutie! I honestly couldn't have done it without her. I was ready to be done after the trees! Good thing my girls enthusiasm kept me going because our house is so festive now!

On Sunday the girls were dressed festive so I took pictures in front of their tree.

 She's my little sweetie pants!

I have to point out the ladybug clip I crocheted for my girls. They both love ladybugs and they each have a ladybug outfit so I wanted to crochet them a clip. I found a toy ladybug pattern and altered it enough to turn it into a clip. They both LOVE their ladybug clip!

 My spunky little Aubrey!

 She sure is full of sass these days. Thankfully she's also really helpful or I don't know if we'd survive her sassiness!

After lunch the girls helped Daddy set up the train. They sure were excited about the train!

I'm glad I had a fun day with my girls decorating! I hope they are just as enthusiastic about helping me take it all down after New Years!
