Farrah's KDO Christmas play

This year at KDO, Farrah had her first Christmas play. It was so sweet! Her teacher, Ms. Margaret, told me that Farrah was going to play the role Mary. Ms. Margaret told me she tried to get Farrah to be an angel because it had more speaking parts. Farrah really wanted to be Mary so Ms. Margaret said ok.

I asked Farrah why she wanted to be Mary so badly and she said, "Guess who's playing Joseph? Jack!" Farrah's best friend is Jack....the same Jack who kissed Farrah last year at KDO. These two are so funny to watch together! Jack's mom, Dana and I think its adorable but the dads aren't so sure....haha!

Aren't they just the CUTEST!!!!

Farrah did a great job as the role of Mary! She worked hard on memorizing her lines. I was nervous she would get scared with all the parents watching her but she didn't. I can't wait to watch more Christmas plays in her future!

Starting to look like Christmas....

I started decorating for Christmas very early this year. It was actually the weekend of Halloween...haha! Our Christmas last year was a little depressing. We had just sold our house and were living in this tiny apartment at Christmas. I wasn't able to decorate any trees because our apartment was so small. I made up for it this year! This year I decorated three trees. I hoping next year to add another tree!

Here is the main tree. I love it more and more every year!

My mantel is a little bigger in this house so next year I'll have a longer mantel piece. I bought these stockings two years ago and just love them!

This is our guest room tree. The color in this room is grey and white so I went with a snowman theme. I've had these snowmen since we've been married. I never could part with them and I'm so glad I didn't!

This year I let Farrah choose her tree and she choose pink...not surprising!! She LOVES it but makes sure it's turned off at night. She can't stand to have any lights on to sleep.
