Getting into the Season!

We are getting into the holiday season, decorating, seeing Santa and our yearly bronchitis and breathing treatments! I spent last week sick and now I have lovingly passed my sickness on to the whole family! Paxton and Lorelei are both on multiple medications and breathing treatments while Josh tries to brave through his sickness!

But seriously, after fixing the leak in our roof this weekend, we spent the day decorating the house with lights, trees and wreaths. We decided to go with a fake tree this year after Nana informed us about the new study that came out about real trees and mold in the house. We have enough sickness without adding a moldy tree to it! My parents were kind enough to let us have their old one and we really love it! It is quite large and we are still looking for that perfect tree topper, so if you have any ideas, let me know!!

The kid enjoyed seeing Santa on Friday night! Lorelei was super excited and Paxton was as well but in an older way. They of course added to their wish list, things that "Santa" didn't know they wanted, like a Princess yo-yo and Lego's topping the list over a Wii! "Santa" is going to have to get busy rounding up the last of the gifts! This picture with Santa was take number 51 as Lorelei cannot and will not look at the camera and smile at the same time! Santa's smile looks a little forced but now you know why!

We are looking forward to doing more Christmas stuff over the next few weekends. Lorelei, Grandmama, and I went to see the Nutcracker Ballet yesterday as one of the first weekend events! Lorelei did great and it was nice to see the ballet after so many years. Below are some of the obligatory Christmas pictures in front of the Christmas tree. Gotta run now, two sick kiddos want to use the computer after being at home all day! Enjoy!

Paxton loves to use our camera to take pictures now!
