Deck the Halls

Christmas decorations are up!  Now if only we could find a little snow...
 Remember when you made the Christmas countdown chains in elementary school?  Well Brennen wanted to do something creative with construction paper.  This is about how creative i get.
 The chain goes down almost to the floor, but it's about halfway gone now.
 My mom gave us this nativity for Christmas last year, and I almost forgot I had it!
 This year's christmas tree is a little eccentric.  We weren't able to get a real tree so we bought this 6.5 ft pre-lit one at walmart for 40 bucks.
 Our ornament colors are red and blue.  Brennen picked out the colors, but i put my foot down and said "Ok. if you pick the colors, they have to at least be sparkly."

 This is Brennen's favorite ornament.  He got it in a happy meal from McDonalds.
 Yep.  This is a pickle ornament.
 And this is me.  When i was 7

Brennen made this star out of construction paper and cotton balls.  He is so crafty!

So Brennen and I did try to get a tree from the wilderness this year, but the snow was too crunchy and deep to get through.  But on our way back home we found this:
I'm gad that I was able to get my camera to take a decent picture of it because it was stunning!  Idaho may not have a lot to offer, but we have some of the best sunsets.  I used to look for sunsets every night in high school.  To me they were a symbol of Heavenly Father's love.  I love that he gives us such beautiful things.
