Christmas was in our cozy little cabin this year after all. Our house is so close to being done. I don't see any reason why we won't be moving in January. Yea! We all can't wait! Even though I wanted to be in my house, it's not what Christmas is really about. We made it work, and I have a feeling that this will be one of those Christmases I'll always remember. How could I forget it?
My Grandmom had an extra tree in her attic that she gave to us. All of our Christmas decor is in the storage unit somewhere. Natalie and I strung some beads to make some ornaments and we bought one package of little red and white balls on sale at hobby lobby. Natalie made the snowman for the topper from a fun foam kit, and we glued it onto a toilet paper roll - it worked perfectly!! We loved our little pint-sized tree!
Santa brought the girls lots of goodies - we are "swimming in toys" in this apartment, but we are grateful!
Melanie got a shopping cart which she loves to push around. She loves to be a big girl. She's also really into tractors. Every time she sees one when we're out and about, she says, "tractor." She even calls big trucks "tractor."
Natalie loves to read books, and now she can read them herself. This is so much fun - even we like to use it! But her favorite gifts were Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, the My Little Pony Carnival, and her Lightning McQueen car and game. She loves them more than anything else!
We didn't get a family picture this year - I wish we had - so this will have to do! Hopefully we will get some taken at our new house soon. Merry Christmas!
