Christmas time!! We have been having a great time decorating our house (and Nana and Papa's) for Christmas.

We got our tree up and the kids did a great job trimming it out.

Yesterday was Dec. 1st and we always start the Christmas countdowns, put the star on the tree and...the biggest treat... the first 2008 Christmas season viewing of "Elf". Oh, yes. It's Christmas now. Emily got to share that special family time with us. You're welcome, Emma.

Max finally lost his second tooth today, he pulled it out himself. I was glad, I wasn't going to do it.

Max expresses his excitement about Christmas through art.
