It's the most wonderful time of the year!!

Here's our tiny little Christmas tree. Poor thing, it looks kind of sad. Maybe next year we'll get a real one so the presents don't engulf the poor thing! Notice, Ammon's Utah Utes ornament on the right? Also, the little white snowflake ornament was given to us by Ammon's mom last year. It says, "Our First Christmas" on it. It's a cute little keepsake.



I just thought this picture of Ammon was cute. I was trying to take a picture of him, and he kept moving his head really fast at the last second, but I caught him!















This is the Willow Tree Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus that my mom got us this year. I LOVE IT! It's BEAUTIFUL. The way it is carved and painted is amazing even without faces painted. My picture just does not do it justice. I'm trying to figure out a place and a way to display it so it looks better... Any ideas ladies?

Yes, that is a cute picture of Ammon... What silly boys who don't want to have their pictures taken!! But I guess you could have one who LOVES the spotlight like mine! haha....

I also LOVE your Willow Tree thing and yes, the pic doesn't do it "real" justice. Anywho- we need to play again before Christmas!!

I would love the whole Nativity Willow Tree, if only... :) Maybe put a tan or brown placemat under them with some sprinkly snow or something! I am not the most creative person, but there's an idea for ya!! :) We need to get together before we leave!!!!!!
