Christmas Corner

This is how the Christmas Corner came to be:

The boys in the house assembled the three tree pieces...


The girls decorated...



While this boy enjoyed time spent in this large box...


And this girl shed a few tears because it was way more entertaining to attempt to destroy the carefully hand-crafted white and blue 'snowballs' rather than place them oh-so-nicely on the tree....and mom wasn't very pleased...and the said 'snowballs' were moved out of the said adorable girl's tiny reach...


And now, to keep the Christmas Corner intact, a table chair/banana chair/rocking chair/end table gate is constructed EVERY day...


But it's worth it....because I could sit in the Christmas Corner all day and watch the pretty lights flicker on and off...

And Aydrie could also sit in the Christmas Corner all day and eat ornaments, smash 'snowballs', and unwrap presents...which might happen in the very near future....She just learned how to FLIP, head first, over the said gate to get to the tree...

Aydrie understands the Christmas Corner:

It's MAGICAL...




And now Cam is smirking and rolling his eyes...


Other activities we've participated in that have helped RING in the upcoming Season:

Ward Christmas party
...don't judge....I'm about 6 months pregnant here...


Playing in the snow
...for only 7 1/2 MINUTES....Brayden enjoyed seeing his footprints all over...and it was just long enough for me to kick a trail to our front door.


Christmas Shopping (love it!)
...this was Cam's face when we were done...


We Love LoVe LOVE this time of year!
