It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!
We basically lost about a week after Thanksgiving. Helen was sick with the flu and then I ended up getting a small dose of what she had. Mine only lasted 24 hours, but it was not fun. So we had some catching up to do! Friday night we went to pick out our Christmas tree and decided to decorate it on Saturday. When we woke up on Saturday morning, it was snowing! It was so beautiful! We ate breakfast, bundled up and hurried outside because we knew it wouldn't last for long! My first picture is a close-up of the first snowman of the season. Don't you love the banana mouth, carrot nose and tootsie roll eyes? Sean, Beckett and Helen hooked up with our neighbors Matt and Carson to build this beauty! We also got in a little sledding. I had Will so bundled up that he could barely move. He didn't stay out for long since he has had a yucky cough and nose the last few days. But I didn't want him to miss his first snow! 
I set him down in the snow to see what he would do and just like everything (he is so laid back) he just took it all in. He didn't get excited or freaked out, he just sat there in the snow and checked it out!
Here is a picture of the gang with their beautiful leaning snowman! Check out how Sean is having to hold it up! They ended up getting some wood to prop him up because he was leaning so bad that he almost fell down! (By the way, I just love Carson's rosy cheeks!) Too cute!
Carson's cousin and Helen's buddy, Carlie, stopped by for a few moments to play in the snow with everyone!
Last night after I got the lights put on the tree, we got out all of the ornaments. This is a picture of the first ornament that we hung last night! I love it! I ordered it from this sweet Tennessee family who is adopting a little boy from Ethiopia. They are selling these ornaments to help raise funds for their adoption and I just had to have one for Will's first Christmas with us! Love it!
On the back of the ornament it has Matthew 18:5~"Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me." Check out their blog, if you are interested in purchasing one and helping this family bring home their newest family member! So I had to take a picture of Will with his ornament on the tree, but he just wasn't feeling it. First of all, he is the droolingest child I have ever known! (Is droolingest a word?) He soaks 4 or 5 bibs a day and I guess I had just gotten tired of putting bibs on him because his shirt is totally wet in this picture! And I think it also has some leftover supper on it. But wet t-shirt and all, he is still adorable! :)
Here is Helen getting ready to hang our Mother/Daughter ornament.
Beckett getting in on the ornament action!
And the finished product. I think it turned out quite lovely!

Love your pics!!!
The tree is absolutely beautiful! And I love the pics of the kids hanging ornaments. Helen's hair looks so pretty. And the snowman is huge! I guess Will couldn't have helped build a snowman like that in Ethiopia. Looking forward to seeing you all at Christmas.
