It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS!!!!

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care...
and here is the Christmas tree with all of its flare...

and another version...

and another...I was playing with my camera.

So Christmas is fast approaching and the kids are filled with excitement. The twins helped me put up the Christmas tree, fluff each branch, add lights and ornaments. They are very into it this year. They actually remembered where each decoration went in our house. Ryan just keeps pointing at the tree like he knows it's there and it's pretty but has no clue what's going on. The boys want to celebrate Jesus' birthday this year like a party with cake and singing. I can't say no to that. I'm just glad they know why we celebrate this day and not just for the gifts they will get. I just love this time of year. It makes me so happy. I look forward to making precious memories with my family.

On another note, I am super excited to debut my very first handmade scarf!!! The girls at work have been knitting for a while now and I knew I wanted to learn. So about 2 weeks ago I got the necessary supplies and got to work. I am proud to say I completed my first scarf today! It is far from perfect but it is made with love. I love it because the yarn changes colors from blues to purples so I have named it Blue Lagoon. What do you think??? Fun project. I am addicted and have already bought more yarn to get started on the next one. It will be 2 different yarns stitched together this time, a red and a red with burgundy. Hopefully I can make the next one with fewer mistakes. It is so nice to have a hobby of my own now. Love it!

I LOVE the scarf! You finished it quickly! I like the effect of knitting the 2 yarns together...I think it gives the scarf more character. Good luck with it! If you'd be interested, I could help you put fringe on your scarf...it's real easy. Way to go!

Hugs,
Lauren :)

yeah for the tree & the stockings!!!
It's awesome you are knitting. I would love to but I'll probably but that off until the knitting needles don't resemble weapons for my kids. lol.
