December 2010

Decker thought Cody wanted to play Jenga with him.

Cody in his Santa outfit.
ThsThese two are my favorite pictures...


Christmas Eve in their new pjs.
We had to have a mantle to hang our stockings with care, so Mike made this mantle for our fireplace. The decorative pieces weren't added till after Christmas. But I love it! I made the stockings for everyone in our family. I decided to embroider the stockings with my sewing machine. I think they turned out awesome...I love the white fluff at the top of the stockings. The last ones on the right was an experiment with velvet...it turned out great even though I sewed the top of the stocking to the back and had to cut it out leaving a big hole. I just sewed another piece to it to cover the hole...can't even tell. lol Our nutcrackers are a favorite wedding present we got...love how they fit on our mantle.

On Christmas Eve, I got to be Mary and Mike was Joseph and little Cody got to be baby Jesus being the youngest of the cousins this year.

As we were opening presents, Decker was excited about all his gifts...Nemo Fruit snacks of the Nemo, Scooby Doo varities, books, dvds of Toy Story and Cars, and when he opened a pair of jeans...he said those were for Cody...not impressed! :)
We had a fun Christmas morning...it was fun seeing Decker's eyes light up...next year will be even more fun.
Merry Christmas!
