Christmas

It seems like every year I get a little less excited about Christmas. I am less excited about decorating, cleaning the pine needles up, spending gobs of money on gifts, schlepping the kids all over town for events, and cooking all those elaborate meals.
Every year it seems like everyone else is getting super excited about Christmas and here I am acting like Ebenezer Scrooge. Then I realize- it is not Christmas yet, Thanksgiving is not even here yet, there is still hope.

I thought I would share some ghosts of our Christmas pasts with you.....

This is Christmas 2004-


This is the first time shopping for our own Christmas Tree December 2005. I was sick as a dog and we had Nylin's birthday party the next day. I insisted that the tree but up and decorated for her party. I think I puked right after this picture was taken.



Here it is all decorated!



Here is my awesome Stocking, don't be jealous!



Nylin as Mrs. Claus in 2006




The loot in 2007 (this is the year my Aunt Donna and Uncle Allen came up so this is not all for Nylin!)

Ok now I have a little Christmas spirit.

You are not alone. I am debating on putting up a tree or not? With Jasons sis and bro-in-law staying with us, we will have a full house already......decisions, decisions!
