Tis The Season

The holidays this year are a completely new experience for us.  Having James here brings new joy and new chaos.  I am so thankful that I am still at home, otherwise I don't know that our house would have any decorations this year.

Last year I made stockings for Paul and I, and this year wanted to make one for James.  I would have liked to have done it over the summer while I was home and motivated to be crafty, but not knowing whether we would have a James or a Rebekah made the stocking making difficult. 

These are our stockings...



I knew that I wanted the baby's to be the same green or red fabric with a different cuff, hence having to wait for the little one to arrive.  This year I found a cute gingerbread man fabric with little red and green candy canes that I knew would be perfect for his stocking.

James in his stocking...




My list of things to get accomplished before family comes is quickly growing, and at the same time I am able to cross quite a bit off the list.  Lots of little projects are getting done during nap times during the day, some projects are awaiting Paul to be home to be done. 

We did take James out to cut down his very first tree.  A tradition that we will be continuing.



And this is how James spent the time at the tree farm. 



It was windy that day, and thank goodness we had Paul's field coat that I could put around both James and myself.
