The magic of Christmas has begun


I know I don't have the nicest camera, if I'm good I think Santa might bring me a new one for Christmas, but for some reason I like the way that my cheap snapshot camera takes these no-flash pictures of the Christmas tree. This year I decided to let the kids do the whole tree while I sat back and tried to capture the looks on their faces. There something so magical about bringing out all the boxes from the attic, letting the kids unpack all the treasures with Christmas music in the background and then letting them create a masterpiece in the form of a decorated tree! I did rearrange a lot of the ornaments after they went to bed, but come on, who doesn't do that?

Every year since Dallas and I have been married we've been accumulating Christmas decorations each year a little at a time. Eleven years latter, we finally got a nice nativity scene. My wonderful husband brought this home for me yesterday. Isn't it beautiful?

We hope you all are feeling the magic of Christmas too.

Hey Sheryl! I jumped to your blog from Julie's and I can't believe how grown up everyone is! Your kids are so cute!!! It's good to see you're doing well and loving life in Texas. Oh, and I like the nativity. Dallas did good! Merry Christmas.
