Unfortunately, we don't have a fireplace and mantle to hang our stockings on, so our little shelf will have to do for now.
My make-shift holly-berries with pine. I think it looks much prettier in person. My little pine tree branches have pine cones in them and are frosted. They are so pretty with the berries.
Porter has found that he loves to lay and play underneath the Christmas tree. He is sooo cute. If only our Christmas tree skirt wouldn't end up all tangled every day from him running around the tree with Emmy. I guess I can just count my blessings and be grateful that they haven't attempted to eat our ornaments or any part of the tree.
A horrible picture of me and Dave at the Festival of Trees. We went with my parents, Kathryn, and Brittany. It's just not the same to us anymore without going for a Sunshine Generation performance. Yeah, we're all geeks, but we have great Christmas time memories from it all.
And of course a cute picture of my too perfect sisters, Brittany and Kathryn. Their cuteness just makes me sick.The weekend after Thanksgiving I was so excited and motivated to decorate my house for Christmas, and I got parts of it done, but still have yet to finish. I've been waiting to do all my decorating to post pictures, but at the rate I'm going, my house may be as decorated as it's going to get. I thought I'd post pictures of the few things I have done. The tree is a work in progress, so I am not going to post that picture yet. Of course I do have a cute one of Porter under the tree, so that I will have to post that one even though the tree is incomplete.
Even with all the decor, I still don't feel like it's Christmas time. I was so excited for the holidays as soon as October came around, but I'm just having a hard time getting in the holiday spirit and really feeling like it's Christmas. I've been trying to do all I can -- listen to Christmas music, decorate the house, work on making Christmas gifts, and we even went to the Festival of Trees. However, I'm just not feeling it. I am going to blame my lack of Christmas spirit on work. Work just seems to get in the way of everything. Unfortunately, work is going to have to remain a part of my life, so I will continue trying to get into the spirit of giving and holiday cheer.

The decorations look great! It is hard sometimes to get into the Christmas spirit. KC used to be a bit of a scrooge, but now that Peyton is really starting to enjoy everything, he wants to do things (like go to the Ogden parade and to see the lights) that he would normally NOT want to do! I think it's hilarious. I hope you get into the spirit soon...maybe today's snow will help??
Jenn, you make me laugh.. ha ha You are a dork! You and David are adorable.. and me and Brittany are not so perfect.. I need to hit the gym ha ha.. but I agree.. Sunshine performances were the best! I really do miss the smell of aerosol hairspray, sequence, tights, and ballet shoes. Oh and because it was a Christmas performance you can't forget the bells that we would put on our wrists! ha ha... We have had some good times! But I totally am with you on the Christmas spirit issue... This year is lame! But.. Our Christmas Pj's are way cute.. so look forward to that! ha ha.. I love you sister! I am glad that you get to spend Christmas up here at mom and dads! I love you!
