Our Home at Christmas...

Is actually quite chaotic. There are a million and one things that need to be done. There is the house that needs to be decked from top to bottom with our finest holiday treasures. Gifts to be thought out, bought, and wrapped. Parties to attend, old friends to catch up with, and memories to be made. There are Christmas cards to send off, lights to see, goodies to make, and letters for Santa to write. There are sweet Christmas stories to be read, love and charity to share, and the true meaning of Christmas taught to our children. Through the hustle and bustle, we found a few quiet moments to sit back and really feel that sweet Christmas spirit that fills our home with warmth and love... and the smell of fresh citrus...
My favorite Christmas ornament...

The advent calendar
{or the 'candy house' as Parker calls it}

Our Christmas elf who watches over us...

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
