My mom and dad already had their Christmas tree up so that the children could enjoy it. As you can see by the pictures...Clark spent most of his time by the tree. He LOVED it and couldn't get enough of it. It was so cute...I would tell him time and again not to touch the ornaments (which he would take off and rearrange)...and he just couldn't help himself. He could NOT keep his hands off. Finally I just quit trying and watched him closely so he wouldn't break any. He loved this tiny nativity set they had out. He would take the pieces for rides in his trucks. We were forever on the lookout for missing pieces. We even found him outside looking intently at their fence.........and he had stuck Mary in part of the fence and gotten her stuck. However, T.C. came and rescued her! In the pictures you will see Clark carrying around a breakable duck. Mom has these breakable ducks and cats that people have given her through the years and Clark just loves them for some reason. He is always carrying them around, rocking them, holding them, etc. He HAD to have them in the pictures!
We are tackling our Christmas decorating at the moment. It is taking WAY longer than ever before. While we lived in our little townhouse in Louisville, we didn't get out all of our decorations due to space. Add that to the fact that it is my FAVORITE time of the year and I can't keep myself from buying up MORE decorations...and my mom is forever giving us more cute things she finds as well. Long story short...we have boxes and boxes and boxes of decorations!! I love snowmen, so we also have TONS of those. Anyway, it is taking us a long time to figure out where everything is going to go. We actually need to get another tree to put upstairs for our extra ornaments. We already have 2 trees downstairs. (a little overboard, well perhaps) It will be fun...until it is time to pack it all up!! But, we will enjoy it while it lasts.
Let us hear how your Thanksgiving was!! Here are some pictures from Louisiana and also of Ali and Clark putting up his little tree in his room.

johsy didn't want to participate with decorating this year, so it was smooth and quick!!! the kids were tossing stuff on the tree faster than i could unwrap and hook them!! but the tree looks great, the front porch has bows and garland and a simple strand of white lights!! it has been a dream to decorate our own home!!! i will need more boxes to store this stuff now!!!! the pics look great!!!
Glad to hear that your Thanksgiving was so wonderful! We also had a great time. Things take on a whole new perspective with a newborn. The last few months have been so stressful with worrying about Stephanie and Emma's health, now that all is well I feel like a huge weight has lifted from my off my chest. Emma is encredibly precious. I pinch myself to see if this life is real. Last year at Thanksgiving we were dealing with the sorrow of a miscarriage and now there is this most beautiful baby girl in our lives and I am so humbled by God's greatness!! I can't wait for you to meet her and we are all so anxious to meet Clark and see all of you again. Hopefully that will be shortly. Until then-know how very much you are missed by ALL of us in Louisville. Take care.
