Christmastime.....Day 11: Christmastime is here....

Christmas time is here, and we are all reveling in the joy that is Christmas and the celebration of our king.  It is refreshing with Olivia here.   Her focus on the birth of Jesus, and no thought for Santa, has helped all of us focus on that wonder of Christmas as we enjoy the ways in which we celebrate.  Here are a few pics of our past week.

Scenes around the house.

Decorating the tree....

I found some old vintage ice cycles as a thrift store, and my children invented a new way to get just the right frosted look of placing them on the tree...

blowing them on..... :)

the school Christmas play....Olivia is in the top row, far left, Taddy is int he second row, two from the right.

Nick played the saxophone with the band....

Teachers gifts, all finished and waiting to go.

Merry Christmas time...from my little chipmunks!
