Random pics of 'tree decorating night'

Meet Santa Boy/Upward Basketball Boy!! Noah decided to take some snow that we used to create the snow scene on top of the piano and transform his face. After doing the "Noah dance", we were finally able to stop laughing after a while and get on with the business of decorating!! Don't you think he looks authentic?!?! :)






We actually got this flag way before we knew God would be moving us to Texas. When putting out the flag this season, we had 2 Christmas choices. Naturally, this one just seemed to fit. We are excited to display this and are praying for opportunities to share the story of Christmas in our neighborhood!! Please pray with us for those opportunities!






We just thought this was funny. All of our front door decorations are out...and if you'll notice the begonias are still in full bloom on this December day!!








Elizabeth had to get Kirsten in on the Christmas fun. Here Kirsten is wearing her new holiday dress that Elizabeth bought on Ebay recently...much cheaper than getting it from the American Girl store, which by the way just opened in Dallas last month. Blake is coming for a weekend visit in a couple weeks, so the guys are going ice skating at the Galleria while the girls shop at the American Girl Doll store (Elizabeth's birthday $$$ is burning a hole straight through her purse!).
