Christmas in our home

 Here's a peak into our home with all of our Christmas decorations up. I love our nativity from Omi and Opa.  Eventually I'd like to purchase some more figurines to add to the collection.

 Dorthea made this gorgeous needlepoint for our family last year.  I keep it up year round.

 Here's our mini Christmas tree. This year it has a pink and gold theme.

 Soon all four of the candles will be lit on the Advent wreath.

 I love these ceramic Christmas trees. The tallest one was made by my great-grandma McCormick. The other two are from the Holy Family craft sale that we've attended in Rochester.

My mom's stocking from when she was a little girl.

 The crocheted stocking was made by my great-grandma Schuller. I miss her.

Each of the boys has their own ornament box. They each have quite a collection already! Do you like the $1.00 star that I picked up at Target?

 We met up with some great friends at Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in Lewiston.  We found a shepherd and an angel while we were visiting!

 Our boys are all around the same ages. They enjoyed eating dinner together and running around looking at all of the outdoor lights.  They must have run around the outdoor rosary at least half a dozen times!

Kate and I tap danced together in Oneonta, NY. We've known each other since we were five.  She's a wonderful friend, mother and woman! This is our second time going to the shrine with Kate's family around Christmas time. It's becoming a tradition.
