Holiday Snapshots - Part 1

A picture is worth 1000 words.

Hopefully that's true because this post will tell the story of our holiday season. With so much going on, sometimes it's hard to figure out whether I'm coming or going. Waking up at the crack of dawn and working until long after the sun goes down. Trying to bring a little bit of the holiday sparkle into our season.

I need a nap.

And a peppermint hot chocolate! Shhh... don't tell anyone - that's what gets me through a retail Christmas.

And off we go!

Hello Christmas Decorations:











"Snowflakes that fall on your nose and eyelashes..."







A little Christmas twinkle in the playroom.



I brought this reindeer ring for Devon and thought it would make it's way to the trash, but he has been wearing it all day and everytime I see it, it makes me smile!



Christmas music playing in the house - a must!



What would the holidays be without a extremely messy house? It goes with the territory. We're trying to work on it, but what is more important - a clean playroom or making gingerbread houses? Come on people. :)



Organizing candy is a science in this house.





My heart aches with love for my sweet boy!







Devon's masterpiece, candy decorating completely and 100% by him!



My baby house for Dean, made completely by me! Ha! No babies allowed when it comes to 100 candy pieces. (Trust me, he was happy to eat any candy that made it's way to the floor.)



Now this looks like Christmas!









We're halfway there people. Next installment... 2012. Just kidding! Who knows when I'll have 20 minutes to myself? Thank God Firoze has the boys right now and gave me the gift of ALONE TIME. Best gift ever!
