December 2012...Part 1

One of the very best/most fun parts of holidays at our house is the decorating, especially for Christmas! We start the day after Thanksgiving and it usually takes us all day, but it is definitely worth it. We always decorate the tree on the first Monday in December for Family Home Evening and this year Mary got fancy with her camera. =)
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...!

Putting up the tree

Mary is in charge of the Christmas village

Sarah is in charge of the Nativities
Grandpa and James

Mary decided to play with her camera and Abbie and John were willing models

"Is it Christmas yet?"
