December Days

Blake and I both love the Christmas season. Since we have been married, Blake and I have attempted to do one "Christmasy" activity each day of December. So far, we have had so much fun with our first five days of December.

On Monday, Blake stopped at Books a Million, and purchased Jackson a copy of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." We read it to Jackson, and Blake wrote Jackson a sweet letter in the front of it. Jackson enjoyed playing peek a boo with his new book.

On Tuesday, we went and picked out our Christmas tree. This is one of Blake's favorite Christmas activities.

On Wednesday, we had our families over to our house for dinner, and decorated Jackson's first Christmas tree. I love getting all of my ornaments out...we have a"hodge podge" tree. We have Lenox ornaments, Hallmark ornaments, and multiple "Our First Christmas Together" ornaments, since we were married in December. We purchase one family ornament each year, and one ornament for each place that we travel to.

On Thursday, we worked on selecting our Christmas card.

On Friday, we went to Brad and Lydia's house for dinner (homeade Chicken Noodle Soup), and helped decorate their tree. Jackson left many small handprints on the glass on her coffee table! Their first Christmas tree looks fabulous!
