It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

 

First and foremost we had yet another birthday party this weekend-this time at Pump it Up and can I just say I had the best time?  Pres is loving all these birthday parties.  Here are some pics from Keigan’s party and looking cute in his Spidey shirt from Aunt Melski.

And we also decorated our tree this weekend.  This is the annual picture of my dad on a ladder and Preston “supervising.”

Preston loved all the ornaments and was very picky about where they should all go on the tree.  My mother buys him his own ornaments every year to start a collection.  It took a while to pick the perfect spot for his trains, sleigh and “P".”

And here is the finished product during the day and night!

Here is the outside of the house and a short video of it lit at night since my camera’s still pictures did not do it justice.

And even though the Giants lost (ARGH by one TD) Preston still looks ridiculously cute in this picture!

Nikki was most impressed with the last picture - Pres with the snowmen. She said: "Look! He has singing snowman too!", and then ran off to make hers sing...thanks Kim! :o) The house and the tree look fantastic, good job!

Beautiful, beautiful! The tree and the lights are to die for! I also LOVE the wreaths on the windows. It looks amazing! Preston did a great job helping!

The house decorations are awesome, both inside and out! Preston is just too cute, especially in his Giants gear!

Your tree and home are beautiful! I love the picture of Preston holding his sleigh ornament and the one of him in his Giants gear - such a cutie pie!
Preston looks like he had a blast at the birthday party! He was one popular boy!

The house looks beautiful! I'm so glad you included the video because I know how still pictures just never do some things justice. The tree is enormous! How long does it take to decorate it? Love the pictures of Pres being the helper!

Isn't Pump It Up fun? Caitlyn preschool class went there in the spring for a field trip. Fun place, although at 7 months pregnant, I couldn't do much with her - thankfully a few of the other parents offered to help her.

Wow, wow, wow!

Love the decorating .... and that tree is amazing. Kinda makes Pres look short though - LOL! (I hope I am allowed to make jokes like that here?)

Love the pics of him at the party too. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and I wish you all the very best for the new year.
Hugs from all Down Under.....
