It truely is the most wonderful time of the year!

I am so excited for Christmas this year! I've been trying to create that classic Christmas feeling in our home for the past few years...it's fun buying additional decorations and adding to the feeling each season. This year I bought a fresh wreath to hang. It smells amazing!

I also bought Amelia a new stocking (as well as others for our future children), on the stocking there is a pocket that says "Letter to Santa". Each year, I'll have the kids write their letter to Santa, stick it in the pocket, and sometime during the month, Santa's elves will stop by to pick it up, in its place they'll leave a special treat.

Adorable leggings!

I wish I had started buying Christmas decorations over the years. I inherited some of my mom's old stuff and that's about all we have. I'm going to have to start working on that. Good luck with the gingerbread houses!
