Oh Christmas Tree

On Saturday and Sunday I put the tree up and Katelyn and I decorated it. She had a blast and loved every minute of it. She of course decorated the very bottom all by herself, while I did the rest of the tree. Unfortunately there was 1 broken bulb but lucky us it was contained to one area and quickly and easily cleaned up. She loves it when we turn on the lights and loves to look at it.

Last week I ordered personalized stockings from Pottery Barn Kids and they arrived today so I was able to put them out. Katelyn loves her 'princess' stocking and constantly goes to touch it because it is really soft. She knows whose is for who and will go down the line - daddy, Mitchell, Katelyn and mommy. Its fun for her.

Over the weekend I took advantage of Christmas shopping and got most of it done. I also wrapped it all in our bedroom while Katelyn was in the living room watching her 'toons'. I feel very accomplished to have most of it done so early. Well early for me! I only have a few more people to buy for and then I am finished!

Here are some pictures of our tree and decor...


Our pretty tree.

New stockings again...


Mitch, sound asleep in his chair!

3 months

Mitch is 3 months old today. How the time flies by! He is doing great and is such a good baby. He's also a good little eater, or should I say big eater! He's my chunky guy! Hopefully soon I'll have the 3 month pictures we had taken today alongside Katelyn and cousin Lakyn. They turned out great and I can't wait to have them printed and put around the house. For now though here are some shots from today and the previous day.







About an hour after we came home from getting pictures taken Katelyn thought it'd be a good idea to jump on the couch - something she knows isn't allowed - and while doing so fell right into the arm rest causing a swollen bruised eye. Here are the before and after shots...
