Holiday Fun!

We are getting geared up for Christmas and had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Here is what we've been up to the past few days.

Stella had a cutout gingerbread person sent home with her from school for her and her family to decorate and bring back to school where they will be hung in the hallway outside their classroom. She had lots of fun getting her gingerbread girl all prettied up! Wednesday night before Thanksgiving we all, along with mom and dad went to Disney on Ice. It was fun and we all enjoyed the show!

The large inflatable Ursula (from The Little Mermaid).

A pirate scene from Peter Pan.

Poor little Porter was SO tired by the end of the show. When we got home (he fell asleep on the way) we had to stand him up to get his coat off, the little guy could hardly even stand, he was so exhausted!

Yesterday we got decorated for Christmas. We bought a new prelit tree this year and rearranged our furniture upstairs to put the tree in front of the window. Here is the tree and our new layout.

Stanley, our Elf, made his appearance this morning. Bringing along a Scooby Doo holiday movie and a note from Santa to remind the kids to be GOOD, no FIGHTING, and to GIVE this holiday season.

We put our old tree up downstairs in the playroom. The kids decorated this all on their own and had a lot of fun!

Our stockings.

You all know what a bargain hunter I am! I got these stockings last year, way after Christmas, from Lands End, they were under $6 a piece with free personalization and free shipping! I couldn't pass that deal up!
