Last Monday we brought home our Christmas tree... and it wasn't until Thursday or Friday that we actually got around to decorating it. We had a good time unwrapping all of our precious Christmas decorations... Caitlin fell in love with this tree that my mom made a few years ago!!
Here's Justin setting the tree in the right place. Thanks to Uncle Jonny for letting us borrow his truck to pick up our tree!
Decorated...
Yesterday it snowed! The kids were SO excited!!
Sunday we took a quick family Christmas pic... here's a little sample: 
That was our week!
Here's Justin setting the tree in the right place. Thanks to Uncle Jonny for letting us borrow his truck to pick up our tree! Oh, and don't you love my homemade curtains? I'm so talented... (JUSTIN'S NOTE: We've been holding out for shutter blinds, and we're finally getting them! Yay!)
Decorated... Yes, I know it's a HUGE star... it was the only one we have right now... I haven't found the 'perfect' one at the store yet... so we'll make do with this!
and that white blob at the bottom is a 'Christmas Cat' he 'lives' in our tree... (ask Caitlin!)
Saturday night, we took the kids to see the lights on Temple Square. Jon and a date came with us to dinner...we had a really nice time!
Will and Daddy, listening to the bag pipes!

Our little family!
Yesterday it snowed! The kids were SO excited!!
Will, sporting his NEW snow coat and boots!! when ever he sees snow... he says, "It's Snowing! It's Snowing!" Even if it's not actually falling...
Pepper LOVES the snow, too... look how it 'balls' up on her fur. (This is her 'Juno' sweater, and our neighbors call her 'Pepper Corn' when she wears it... cute!)
Here's Justin trying out our 'new' hand-me-down snow blower from his parents! It's awesome. This makes life SO much easier... esp since we live on a corner and have all that sidewalk to take care of!
Sunday we took a quick family Christmas pic... here's a little sample: Caitlin looks SO cute in her scarf, don't you think?
That was our week!

i love the Advent calendar tree!! it's so cute. how fun for the kids to get to play in the snow. i can't wait for Allie to be big enough to enjoy it too. :)
we were at Temple Square this Saturday too! haha! wasn't it just soooo crazy??? wow! Allie loved it though so it was totally worth it.
i'm so excited for Christmas. :)
and yes, caitlin is adorable in her big girl scarf!! too precious.
What fun Christmas is! I also love the tree your Mom made just like Caitlin. Although, I must admit I truly love (and covet a bit- - if I am being honest) the nativity set your Mom made you. As I recall, it is gorgeous!!!
What a cute post! I love the big star, but I really love "the Christmas cat"! Ha!
yes! Love it!! Love pics of the kiddos. Hope the darkness of the Knight was good. I'm watching it for the second time right now... only to understand it better. It's pretty creepy. Loves!
Is the Christmas Cat anything like Mom and Dad's Christmas Elf? The day after thanksgiving we started decorating Mom's house. Brandon and I were so excited when we found a black plastic bag with the Elf in it. I tore into the bag excited to put the elf on the couch and found a big mound of Brandon's stuffed ninja turtles where the Elf should have been. ELF IS MISSING!!! I'm still having a difficult time processing the idea.
Yes Caitlin does look adorable in her green scarf. I'm loving the color. Did you make them?
cute family photo! :)
You guys with the snow again!!!! I need to move to the mountains!!
No i didn't make the scarfs... Terese made them!
i can't belive Mom and Dad's Christmas ELF is missing...
'sound the alarms... call scotlin yard...' (that's from peter pan.)
