9 Days Til Christmas?!

Where has December gone? I LOVE the holiday season, but in my opinion it always goes by WAY too fast. There is just not enough time to do everything I would love to do with friends and family. I feel like a slacker in the blogging world, so here's a little of what we've been up to (or in other words, what I have pictures of)

Decorating the tree

Gavin helped to (if you include eating the sparkly ornaments as helping!)

And we met Santa at the ward Christmas party. Mia loved him (and the candy cane)

Gavin's not a huge fan - maybe next year.

Since the ward party was held at our church building, on Sunday when we were getting ready for church Mia said, "and Santa will be there!" In your dreams, child. She cracks me up!

I have recently finished Mia's fairy skirt (which will be part of her dress up box)and Gavin's stocking is completely finished as of last night (well, there are some stars I'm supposed to hang from the top...might not happen this year - or ever!)

Don't they look so cute side by side?! Maybe next year Jared will get one.
