And the Christmas decorations come out

It's that time again....at least in our house! We are Christmas people. This first picture is possibly my favorite Decoration this year. I bought it last year but our toilet in that house was apparently not typical. I had to wait a whole year to use it! I love it though. "Toilet Seat Covers!!!!" Pheobe quote for those who don't know.
Levi thoroughly enjoyed getting all the boxes of Christmas stuff out and deciding where it should all go. He knows the drill already.
Baby Jesus is where it's at.

Naturally Levi has his own tree in his bedroom. And his own set of tiny ornaments.



Grandma Connie should recognize these little bears. She sent them in the mail for Levi I think 2 Christmases ago.


He wanted to hang someone up on the Snowman's hat. We decided it should be Baby Jesus since it's obviously a seat of honor.



And finally the main event. Our nine foot tall Christmas tree that we've yet to set up completely. I'm not sure when we'll ever have tall enough ceilings. But, we make do.
Levi is in awe of the tree. As soon as we got it all set up and plugged it in, he said, "Wow" and just stared. Then he went over to the wall and turned off the house lights to better appreciate the tree. Now he does this every time we turn on the tree in the evening.


This time Grammy should recognize the ornament. She sent this to me maybe for Nathan and my first Christmas married.
Gotta represent each new place we call home.
Baby girl gets a stocking this year though of course she'll still be snug in mama's belly.
I just love that we have a Christmasy house for so long each winter. It's such a snug and comforting atmosphere.

What a delightful post! Oh man, do I love that toilet cover, and it matches well with your shower curtain! Levi's tree is superb, and the seat of honor is great too. Kudos on the Oak Harbor ornament!

Thanks for the great mood setting holiday post! Makes me want to set up my tree early too, since we're leaving town Dec.11.
I absolutely love the way Levi has his own awesome tree and ornaments. That topper is divine!

I like the toilet seat cover. Nice touch.

I'm glad you get into the holiday spirit so much. It allows me to live vicariously through you during the holidays.
