It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I can't believe it's already Christmastime again!
We started off the holiday festivities with a play my girls were involved in. It was such a cute production & they were such cute little sheep:) We decorated soon after Thanksgiving-the girls & I LOVE this season, but for me, it came a little faster this year than usual, so I don't feel completely prepared & on my game as usual.
I found some pine branches right outside our house & made this wreath-hint-I would not recommend doing this unless you know what you are doing or unless you have a wreath frame of some kind. I think I channeled the pioneer in me back when there was only branches & twine- & that is exactly what I used. I would also recommend wearing gloves as your hands get pretty scratched up.
We celebrated a special little girl's 6th birthday-our youngest daughter-wow they grow up so fast! She wanted a Wizard of Oz party & it turned out really cute & fun:) Now both girls have An American Girl doll all her own:)

We also went as a family on The Polar Express Train ride-it was so much fun-I recommend going at least once if you can:) Everyone wears PJs & you ride in a real train to the "North Pole". You are served hot chocolate & cookies, greeted by santa & all kinds of other special touches from the movie & book. Our whole family really enjoyed it:)
I wish you all love, peace & joy this holiday season, Merry Christmas!
