Putting up Christmas

Awhile back, Mom and I decided to make new stockings for everyone.

 Before Jack and Jonah were born, we made our first stockings about eight years ago. 

They've held up pretty well for being hand-sewn by kids 10 and younger and made out of
 felt, but now that we are going to add yet another kid, we decided to just start over.

Glynne's

Ally's

Mine

Landon's

Kate's

Isaac's

Jackson's

Jonah's

New Baby's

I was super bored one evening and started decorating

 the house for Christmas. If you know me, you know I love to decorate.

 So Mom watched football while I got all the Christmas stuff out.

These pillows are Mom's latest project.

 I think she's making ornaments next.

Grandma Candy found this reindeer at a garage sale for $10, and I

 cut the ugly bow that was around its neck off and hung it up.

After I moved the furniture, there was a big empty spot where the tree is suppose to go.

 I begged Dad to go buy a tree so it would look pretty when we woke up. Dad finally gave

 in after we bribed him with a dad, daughters, and Kyle trip to Lowe's in

 Ponca City at 8:00 at night!

 Love ya, Dad!

Another one of Mom's projects was to make a tree skirt out of

 burlap sacks from Junk Generation.

 It ended up being more of an apron, but still looked good. 

Our ladder is at the rental house right now, so Kyle

 had to make do with what we had. It probably wasn't very safe.

The next day Glynne helped the kids make salt dough ornaments

 and Mom put the finishing touches on the tree.

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they

 will walk in the light of your presence, Lord.

Psalm 89:15
