Christmas with my little family

    I thought I would show you some of my decorations since I took pictures of Adrian's stocking.  First, Matt and I picked out stockings together.  We got one for each of us but when/if we have more kids they will get our stockings.  They aren't the most exciting ones ever but I think they look nice together:

Adrian's is green.  We don't have a fireplace or stair banister, but this worked out well.The stocking holders say peace, joy and love.



My mom bought our tree skirt after we got engaged.  I couldn't have picked a better one myself!


Ornament to Adrian from Matt's uncle David.

Eric gave me this angel last year.

I love my nativity but this table needs some work on the top.  Ignore it.



I believe my mom made this a long time ago.  It's one of the only Christmas things I took from home. I love it.


I couldn't find the normal angel, so we have a pink one.  She's more special anyway.  I've had her for a long time.
Candid pictures don't work out very well when the flash freaks out the baby.

Santa came!
     On Christmas morning we slept in on accident.  Then we opened Adrian's presents. It was rather uneventful but it was fun to have time for just us.  Adrian gets more interested in toys all of the time, so it's fun to watch him get excited.  Our next Christmas will be in a more permanent home; hopefully we will have a fireplace for Santa! 

Adrian is trying to contain his enthusiasm.


     Any day now, we will have a new nephew!  I hope he decides to come soon if he's ready.  I'm sure Adrian will look like a giant next to him even though he's still so small to me.  I hope everyone has a happy new year!

Thanks Jill! My parents let us borrow their tree because my dad prefers a real one. We lucked out.

Beautiful Christmas decorations, Julie. Where did you get the Christmas stockings and the peace, love, joy holders? Those are really nice.

Thank you Patty! Sorry I just saw this. We got them all at Hobby Lobby, it's a great place for Christmas decorations. They're always on sale.
