Deckin' The Halls!!!

As most of you know already, Christmas is absolutely my favorite time of the year!!! There is just something about it that makes my heart so happy. The spirit of Christmas can never come soon enough....or last long enough! Christmas is special in so many ways. This year, Jay and I will be celebrating our second anniversary and our precious baby boy. Every day that Jack is in our lives is a gift from God, but I am especially thankful for all of my blessings during the holiday season. This year is also very special because we are awaiting the birth of our new niece or nephew. He or she is expected to arrive on Christmas day! What a wonderful gift that would be!

We normally put up all of our Christmas decorations during Thanksgiving weekend. But this year, we are going to St. Louis to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Heidemann's! So, our whole family got a head start and decked the halls of our entire house (and outside too!) last weekend! Mommy and my little helper put up all of the inside decorations as well as the tree and lighted garland while Daddy and Grandpa Harris took advantage of the beautiful weather and strung the outside lights. So, we are all set to celebrate the season!

Here are some pics of the little helper "assisting" me with the tree.....again this year, Jack was fascinated with the lights! In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing that says "Christmas" more than the look in a child's eyes.....
