I know I have mentioned this before, but I LOVE Christmas!!! It is my most favorite time of the year!! It is snowing here today, so we all feeling festive!! In fact, when Lily looked out the window and saw it snowing this morning, she ran around saying "It's Christmas, It's Christmas"!!! It took a little bit of explaining for her understand that just because it is snowing, doesn't mean it's Christmas!!! The snow is so beautiful!!! I forget just how much I love the snow, until it snows again!!!! It is coming down really hard at the moment, though it was just spitting here and there up until now. It is looking like Lily may get another day at home with us!!! I kept her out all week last week. She just needed a break, and it has been WONDERFUL having her home. I don't necessarily think school will be called off tomorrow, but I DON'T drive in inclement weather...period!!! Anyway, I hope you all had a GREAT Thanksgiving!! We had a GREAT day!!!! We all ate entirely too much, though. On friday, my mom and I did our annual Black Friday shopping at Wal-Mart!! It was incredibly crazy (as always)!! But we got pretty much everything we went for. I can now officially say that I am done with my Christmas shopping!!! YAY!!!! Friday evening we went to HallMark to get our Christmas ornaments for this year. We have had our tree up for a couple of weeks now. Getting our ornaments is something we like to do together as a family!!! Friday was really our first chance to do it!! We had a good time. Of course, it took Lily at least 30 minutes to decide which ornament she wanted (this is a totally normal thing...they have a TON of girlie ornaments). It took Avery about 30 seconds. He found the Thomas ornament and that was it. Nothing else sparked his interest!!! Sooooo funny!!!! Well, I hope all is well with everyone!!! We love you all!!
This is the fourth in this series. Adam and I have gotten them all. We like to collect series ornaments!!
We were collecting this Dr. Suess series that they had. But they only had like 7 or 8 (can't remember for sure at the moment). So last year we had to find something else. We decided on "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" ornaments last year. We thought that would be something they would have every year. When we went to get it this year, it looked almost exactly like the one we got last year. Adam LOVED this "Muppet Show" ornament, so we decided on it instead!!!
We haven't found a series for Avery yet. They just don't really have any that I like for boys. Last year we got a Snoopy one, thinking we could collect that series, but I REALLY disliked the one they had in that series this year. So we decided we would just get him this Cars one this year. It is something that he loves, and maybe that will mean more than having a series.
We collect the Holiday Barbie series for Lily!! I collect the actual Holiday Barbies, so we thought it would be neat to get the ornaments for her. Luckily for us, she LOVES Barbie!!! And LOVES these ornaments!!!

This is the Thomas ornament that Avery picked out. It has been difficult to make him leave it alone. He wants to take it off the tree and play with it. He is getting it, though. Maybe by the time we take the tree down he will understand!!!!
This is the one that Lily finally decided on. It was on the list of her favorites, but finally after being in there for EVER I just made her pick one, and this was it. She isn't regreting it!!! I'm glad!! It is very pretty!!
