We headed out to Farmer Brown's to pick out our tree again this year, and found a great one!
Darby had so much fun helping me decorate. She likes to put 5 ornaments on one branch!
Being in the duplex this year for Christmas, it was kind of difficult to find a spot for the tree. Behind the front door seemed to be the only spot!
My mom gave us the advent Christmas countdown calendar that we used when I was growing up. Now Darby gets to move the little mouse every morning just like I did when I was a little girl :)
We've also been having lots of Christmas fun with friends, and went to a cookie exchange the other day. Darby was such a good helper with the Hershey Kisses.
During the week of Thanksgiving we had some fun snow days. Darby loved playing outside, even when Mommy was freezing!!
We got her to come back in by tempting her with hot cocoa
One tradition we started last year was checking out the Macy's Star and Christmas tree lighting in downtown Seattle. It's pretty fun and Darby loves the fireworks they set off. Downtown Seattle is always so pretty at Christmastime.
Merry Merry!!

SHAWNA!!!! I had that EXACT same mouse calendar growing up!! My parents still put it up every year at their house for Christmas!! :D That just totally made me jump for joy seeing your pictures and realizing it was the same calendar I had. :) LOVE IT! My siblings and I would always fight about the order of who moved the mouse because we always wanted to be the one to move it right before Christmas. :) Good memories!
Just let me say-Darby needs to be a Gap model or something! Oy those cheeks!!!!! I stole your info about Shutterfly and posted it on my blog-thanks ;) Did you ever get your promo code? I can't wait to order mine-we just got family photos-hopefully they turn out as cute as yours!! (Getting 3 kids to look in the camera is impossible!) Oh and I want to make you a blanket for your little guy-any color suggestions?? Let me know!
