We are ready for you, Santa!!!

I have limited myself to only two tubs of Christmas decorations (despite having five rather large ones).  Not sure if it is just exhaustion or what, but the Christmas spirit, with regards to decorating, seems to have skipped our house.  This weekend, we got our tree up, or as Carrera likes to think of it, a tree full of sticks...

When we were living in San Diego, we found a really cool way to hang up our stockings and showcase our favorite ornaments at Crate & Barrel.  I am excited to see the kiddos choose their own ornaments, in the years to come.

I chose an ornament that has our favorite colors (red with purple dots)

Daddy chose an ornament with Sloane's footprint

Sloane is showing off her "official" first Christmas ornament

Carrera didn't have much of a choice

Love the beautiful needlepoint, created by Aunt Deb...
