What's new with us?

Not much. I figured you were all getting pretty sick of my Thanksgiving post though, so I thought it would be a good idea to give you something new to look at. So these are just some pictures of the kids and our Christmas decorations. Yes, they're finally up! We're usually much more prompt about decorating, but it just wasn't happening this year for some reason. We found a great sale on a kitchen nook, so we treated ourselves to one! Andy had to assemble it, and Abby was his little helper. She mostly just wanted to dig through his tool bag though...
I forget how long her arms are, but she reminded me when she was able to reach over to the table and get her applesauce cup. She was so excited and having so much fun making a mess I just decided to go with it!
Abby, who is definitely into EVERYTHING, found one of Zach's art projects from school and proceeded to tear off the reindeers bow and nose. Poor Zach...nothing is safe anymore!

In front of our tree. Zach, trying to hang an ornament. Christmas is so much more fun with him this year because he really gets it now. It's so fun to see the excitement and wonder in his eyes! (and yes, his shirt is on backwards!) Our tree! I love it, and it smells so good!
Our Christmas stockings. Zach doesn't quite understand why there's a train on his. He says, "So I'm going to be a train for Christmas?" (like we're going to dress up like we did for Halloween or something) It's funny. Although I wouldn't mind seeing Andy try to dress up like a Christmas tree! ha! :)
And, my new pride and joy. My Willow Tree Nativity. Isn't it pretty? I have to admit that I didn't even know it existed until I saw Brenley's on her blog. Hope you don't mind that I copied you Brenley! You have such good taste, and I just love my new Nativity! Aahhhh......
