Christmas Time is Here!

I love Christmas. I love the decorations, the smell of Christmas candles, the snow, the music. I love it all. It's been fun decorating my new house this year. I have a vision of what it will look like one day, if I ever have the funds. But I'm pretty happy with what I've got so far. Here's my new tree. I wanted to put it in front of the windows but it's too fat. So we put it in the corner next to the fire place. Decorating the mantel is my favorite and as you can see, I love red. And here's the little tree that the kids decorated. They did a great job. I just put the garland on and few ornaments at the top. Taylor had his Christmas Concert at Barnes & Noble last week. It was so awesome. That little band is so adorable. Taylor plays the electric guitar. It's been interesting though, because his teacher knows nothing about the guitar and expects the kids to learn 100% from a book, which is extremely difficult. So most of the guitar players have dropped out or have moved on to banging sticks and tamborines. Pretty laim, I think. So anyway, Taylor is pretty much the only kid who plays at all. So he had a solo and he rocked Good King Wenceslas!

Is he stinkin' adorable or what?

James took the day off last Friday and went Christmas shopping with me. We got almost all of it done. Just a few more things to buy and lots of baking to do and I'll be ready. Enjoying every minute of it. Hope you are too.
