The Twelve Days of Christmas 2010: Decorating & Christmas Morning

We would like for you to meet the sixth official member of our family:  “Tiny Man.”  William discovered “Tiny Man” as we were getting out our tree decorations, and “Tiny Man” went everywhere with William from that point on-ward.  We would look for, trip over, and cry about TM “losing an arm” because Daddy stepped on him on any given day of December.  Now, at the age of three, William will tell you “I like tiny things.”  Back when these pictures were taken, we had a hunch that “tiny things” were quite popular to our tiny man . . . so, without further ado, behold the beauty that is “TINY MAN.”  (PS:  He currently resides in a ziplock bag in our basement.  Shhh.  Don’t tell.)

Our Christmas tree was really special and very Charlie Brown like.  I loved it!

Guess who put the tiny angel in my cupcake display?

Holding babies on Christmas Day is my all-time favorite thing to do.  There is something about celebrating the Birth of Jesus and holding a tiny baby in your arms that increases the wonder and miracle of the birth of our Savior.  It is such a sweet thing—I just love it!  Here, Sister is posing with her adorable stocking that her Nana hand-knit especially for her!

The boys woke up excited for Christmas, but without really knowing what that meant . . .
