***Tis The Season***

This year we put our Christmas trees and decorations up a bit early! Out of the blue on Friday night Noah said- "hey, do you want to put the tree up tonight?" I thought heck, if he is offering, I'm all over it :] So Christmas started a wee bit early in the Zehr household this year- but hey, that's ok! It was killin me to wait much longer anyway :] Plus we are leaving for Carbondale Thanksgiving night and staying the whole weekend there with my sister EEEK so we wanted to get it all done before we left!!

Every year I show off our tree. So here you go folks :] The first tree is our tree we put up every year in our living room and put all our family ornaments on it! (You saw the ornaments I made to add to this tree this year in an older post of my family and one for Eli's first Christmas), and the second tree is actually in our bedroom this year. The second tree is one we put all our sports ornaments on- Cardinals, Steelers ornaments is pretty much what decorates this tree :]If you can see it there is a Cardinal bird at the top of the tree. This is in remembrance of my Papa who is prolly the #1 fan of the Cardinals. We miss you so much Papa:[ We usually put this tree in the basement with our Cardinals room, but since me and the kiddos are down there we decided not to this year just in case the tree was to get pulled down by chance :]



Eli absolutely loved the lights on the trees! He kept pointing at it and saying "ahhhhhhh" haha! I actually remembered a Santa hat he got from someone when he was born so got that out and he got mad if we took it off of him. I said- "go for it lil boy- support Christmas whenever you wunna- even if it's in the Summer" hahaha! He was so amazed and every morning when he gets up I show him both trees and he just can't stop starring at them- too cute :]



And then to top off this post- here is our wonderful stockings this year :] I am not quite sure why the e and s on my name look all weird- because it doesn't look like that in real life- so real weird if you ask me- but I added our names at the bottom and think they are pretty precious if you want my opinion :] Of course I am not near as crafty as Natalie though!!! :]


While I am on the topic- do you have your shopping done??? I have some peeps left, not much though and then we have Eli of course but we have some good ideas in mind and we are going to go shopping for him next Tuesday Dec 1 eeek! We actually decided to take him with us this year since this is the only year he will have no idea what is going on! I still need to find Noah one more thing too- decisions decisions!!!! OH how I love this wonderful time of the year for many many reasons :]

I also made a Christmas shirt for Eli! You should check out this website- super cute ideas!!!! - http://www.initiallyyoursdesigns.com/ This is what our shirt looks like- except it says Eli of course :]


I got the idea from Kelly's Korner- I love reading her blog!!! Lil Harper was born the same day as Eli so it is fun to look and see the things they do that are similar and different from each other. :]
