It's beginning to look a lot like

Christmas at our house! We got our tree Sunday and decorated it that night. The kids had so much fun pulling out their ornaments from years past and finding places for them on the tree. Each year my mom takes them to pick out personalized ornaments for our tree. Some day when they have their own families, they can take their ornaments with them for their trees. I have a lot of mine from my grandparents when I was growing up. Here are some pics of our night decorating the tree.

So excited that Christmas is near

Fun! I think we have the same stockings :) My mom did the yearly ornament thing for me and now my 21 ornaments (every year from birth to getting married) are on our tree. I love that tradition!

The ornament thing is a great idea! Good thing I still have time to start it. :)

Love it! My parents and grandparents did the same thing for me and Rob with ornaments. Where did your mom get hers? I am looking for a few personalized ones.
