It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas

This Christmas is especially special for our family...it is our very first Christmas in our new home! It is so wonderful to have a place that truly is "ours." Sure we had to duplex and all but here is just feels MAGICAL! Tristan loves all things Christmas...every morning we have to turn on all the singing/dancing snowmen and santas, then we have to turn on all the lights and we have to put an ornament on our advent calendar. He absolutely loves Santa..he calls him HO HO HO.
This is our living room..notice all the singing and dancing things in front of the fireplace..they are all Tristan's! Oh and he got a train to go around the tree...we have spent a fortune on batteries already this year :)
This is the outside of our house...Timmy's Grandma Bromley gave us this wonderful nativity scene..after all isn't Christ's birth was Christmas is really about????

I found these shelves at a garage sale for 2 bucks and then i found the shelf brackets at Hobby Lobby at half price...super easy and cheap way to decorate!


Tristan's Great-Aunt Dee made him this advent calendar..every day we take an ornament out of the bag and place it on the tree. He gets super excited about it, and she gave us this blow up Santa..Thanks Aunt Dee :)
