It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

I love that song especially the version sung by Bing Crosby. We have decked our halls and now have a ton of snow for our winter wonderland.






Our BYU, silver and blue, wreath.
The tree. Still an artificial one. Next year I'm going to make Ben get a real one with me. We may not cut it ourselves yet. We need to take baby steps. Spencer's head is at the bottom of the tree. He is playing a game with the ornaments. One of my favorite memories of Christmas time is playing with the ornaments on the tree.

Our stockings are hung with care, especially since they aren't actually attached to anything. Things are strategically placed to hold them on the mantel. When the Christmas stuff goes on clearance I'm going to pick up some stocking holders.
And last, our gingerbread house. The construction was pretty easy this year. Probably because I remembered to trim the pieces half way through their baking.
A close up of Santa's sleigh in the back of the house. All the candy is chocolate except for the load bearing candy canes. I couldn't find any ribbon candy so we made do with other stuff. It'll make for easy eating, plus I can tell whenever someone takes a piece off. Yes, I'm looking at you Ben.
