Christmas decorations

With Avery it's a little hard to have the house decorated for Christmas...he loves all lights and christmas decor. He walks around saying "see, lights" or "oh wow" and wants to touch everything. And of course as soon as I ask him not to touch it he rips the lights off the tree, or the stocking from the rail, etc. My favorite is the Willow Tree Nativity that Andy got me. He bought the basic set for me a couple years ago and then this year he got me the shepherd and more animals. I absolutely love it!! (and Avery cannot reach it!!)
So you can thank Avery for how our tree is decorated... some day my house will look pretty! :)

Here are some of our decorations

My nativity, I LOVE this!!

Notice all the ornaments are at the top, I didn't even bother to actually put all our ornaments on this year.

Our stockings are hung on our railing with care.... : )

This is the advent calendar that Andy's sister made for us. This is the first year we get to use it. I'll take a picture of it when all the pieces are up.

Your pics just reminded me. We need stockings.

I usually don't like Willow Tree...but your nativity is beautiful.

I Love the picture of the tree. When you scrapbook you will have to write about the tree situation. It will be fun for Avery to look back on. Love your Nativity.

That is so funny. Just tonight I was looking at our ornament-less tree and thought, "why am I worried about decorating? Jonah will just destroy it."

I love your willow tree nativity! I have been wanting one, but I just can fork out the dough for it. Cute stockings too!
