It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like ...

Christmas at the Denison house!!!!! Wow, the holidays sure crept up on us fast this year! Tonight we finally got around to putting up the tree. The other décor has been out since the weekend, but since Savannah got an ear infection on Saturday, we were busy with other things the rest of the weekend and Cameron taking a short trip to Phoenix early this week, the tree didn’t get up till tonight. At first the little one was confused and waited at the kitchen table anticipating a pumpkin carving again. Sorry kid, wrong holiday! Once we got into the ornaments, she was all over it. Thankfully we first opened the box of ornaments that wouldn’t break and don’t have a lot of sentimental value and let her go to town. Savannah did great and really enjoyed decorating the tree. Then sadly it was bedtime and once she was safely in bed, we had to do a little rearranging. Regardless, it makes all the difference in the world to enjoy the holiday season with a little one around and watching her enjoy the magic of the season. Since Daddy was out of town earlier this week, Savannah and mommy did a little Christmas shopping. We are just about done and very pleased about that! Although, I told Savannah we were going shopping and when I buckled her into the car seat, she asked “Target Mommy?” Now if that is not a chip off the old block I don’t know what is!!! Sadly, I explained to her that there are other places in this world to shop besides Target! We are glad Daddy is home and ready to enjoy the holiday season to the fullest! We have a pretty low key weekend planned this weekend, but ready to cheer on the Mizzou Tigers to victory in the Big 12 Championship game on Saturday. We are sure hoping for a big win of course. Hopefully now that life has settled down for a bit we will try to update this thing a little more than usual. But then again, I make no promises, as life just keeps happening!!!!! Happy Holidays everyone!

Those are great! Isn't decorating w/ them so fun! We've got a clump of ornaments and candy canes on the bottom of our tree this year!
