There's something in the air!!! Christmas is almost here!

We are busy preparing for Christmas around here.
 
 We let the boys decorate and put a tree in their room. They loved it!
 Corgin told me I had to take a picture of our tree too.
 One night, for family home evening, we popped popcorn, made Kool-Aid, and then loaded up in the car and went in search of Christmas lights. We saw a lot, but the boys favorite was our neighbor just two houses down who had an FM transmitter and had his lights set to go with music he played. The boys kept asking to see the dancing lights every night after that.
We also got a little crafty for Christmas gifts. Clint made this shadow box and we painted it and put an old window we painted to match on it.
 We also took on this big task. Clint cut this out on the scroll saw (each figure has anywhere from 5-9 separate pieces to it) and then I painted almost all of them and then glazed them. Yeah, we don't think we'll do that again, unless we forget how much work it was.
And here are my three kiddos. I can't believe how fast they keep growing up.
