I never realized just how much money can be spent on Christmas tree ornaments and decorations to keep the holiday spirit happy and alive in your home... thank goodness for hand-me-downs and Walmart!
The star on top of our Christmas tree is from Sweden. My sis-in-law just got home from serving her mission there and sent all of us Christmas stars both years as gifts. I don't think she had ever seen one on top of a Christmas tree before... usually they are hung in the window with a light bulb put inside for all to see, but thanks to my creative husband, he just wrapped the paper star around our cheap, smaller Walmart star and it worked out well!
The few decorations are hand-me-downs which I'm grateful for so we can have a little bit of christmas cheer in our house. Thanks to our Provo neighbors for the stair decorations...
And also for the table decorations...
Stockings have always been a huge tradition in my family... We were always so excited as kids to pull out little wrapped gifts and try and guess what they were. The stockings in this picture were made by my mother in '07. She had a whole bunch of old levi's and spent several hours making one for each person who was spending Christmas Eve/Day there. She made them extra big since she knows it's the favorite part of Christmas for my fam and Santa did not dissapoint!

Very cute decor. Although, Carter is still scared of that talking tree!
Took the time to read a lot of your blogging. You have a great way of expressing yourself. Keep it up! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your Christmases last year. Way to go!
