23 sleeps until Christmas!!!!

Tuesday was Christmas Tree Day!!!!
I spent the day cleaning, rearranging, and cleaning and rearranging some more.... :D We had to move a few things around in the living room to make space for our Christmas tree. I took the coffee table apart and put that away for the time being, we moved our bedroom around to fit our massive TV in there. Now our beautiful Christmas tree has taken its place in our living room! It is so beautiful! Enjoy some pictures from our Christmas tree day :)
Matthew Alexander - reindeer #2
Yes, reindeer's have bubbas too... haha!
Sorry, I didn't realize that this picture was so bright until I uploaded it.
The vacuum was used a lot that day :)
Joshua Alan - Reindeer #1
Joshua still LOVES all his stuffed animals! He chose his Christmas doggy to come with us to pick out our tree ;D
Matthew's 1st Christmas tree hunt....yes, as you can tell from the picture, we went to Lowe's to get our tree. It get so dark so early here so we were not able to go to a tree farm to cut our own this year. We all had fun looking through all the trees anyways ;)
Nathan and Joshua...Nathan's personal little helper! Wherever Nathan goes....Joshua goes!! I love it :)
"CHEESE!!!" for a while Joshua wouldn't let me take his picture...now he gets quite into it! Thankfully, because I love to take pictures!!!
Joshua and Mommy!
Matthew and Mommy!
I love you!
Our 5th Christmas together!!!
Nathan and our boys...we found our perfect tree! I forgot to take a picture of the tree while we were there, but its the one sitting beside Joshua.
Our boys and myself :)
Waiting for Daddy to get the van to load our tree!
Joshua is really Nathan's personal little helper. While Nathan was setting up the tree and making sure that it was standing up straight, Joshua ran and grabbed his worker man hat, a saw (Nathan was clipping some strangling branches), and he stole one of Nathans gloves :) to... " I help Daddy fix the Christmas tree!"
It was getting pretty late by the time we got back home and set the tree up in the stand and cleaned up all the needles, so we put the boys to bed and decided to decorate the next day. I just put the lights and ribbon on that night so I didn't have to worry about it the next day when Joshua wanted to help.
This picture is of Joshua's 1st Christmas ball! He hung that one all by himself :) and loved every second of it!
Just about to hang up his Frosty ball!
Hard at work decorating the Christmas tree with Mommy!
Matthew was in awe of the tree! He sat and watched us almost the entire time! ...probably trying to figure out how to get over to the tree and play with all the decorations we were hanging!
Taking a break from all the tree excitement and watching a baby Einstein movie :) He LOVES them too! :)
These next couple of pictures are some of my favorite decorations.... this one has 'snow' inside!
this one is sooooooooo sparkly! Love it :)
I have a blue, white, silver and snowflake theme on our tree...I got the inspiration from these balls!
still working hard!
Matthew working on getting to the tree... :)
almost there.......!!!!!!
Mommy intervened and gave him a box instead :) which in his eyes was a pretty good trade!!!
Ta-Da!!!! Here it is! Our PERFECT Christmas Tree!!! This Christmas is going to be very special! This will be Nathan and my 5th Christmas, Joshua's 3rd, but first that he really understands, and Matthew's 1st Christmas!!! We always love and look farward to celebrating our Saviours birth!!
Only 23 more sleeps until Christmas...
Merry Christmas!
Here a couple shots from the end of November.
These boys, they just LOVE each other! If you know Joshua, you know that he loves this blanket and doesn't usually share it very well, but with Matthew he didn't even think twice! I wrapped them up so tight that they couldn't move! Hmmm, maybe that's why he didn't complain? Nah! ;D
They liked it so much they watched part of a Christmas movie like that :)
