Making Christmas Memories

It's been a fun week around here! The weather has been cold and Christmas-y. I've been slow about getting my decorations up this year, I normally put them up right after Thanksgiving. But, we've been out of town and have had alot going on so, I haven't completely finished with my decorating. I was stressed about it at first, but I realized that that's not what Christmas is all about. I want to be able to enjoy this season, and if I'm so focused on trying to have everything "just so", then my focus is not on the right thing. I have really been trying to take things a day at a time, enjoying doing special little activities with Emma like putting up her own little tree, making ornaments with her, baking cookies, and going to Mr. Larrell's to get cedar for my Christmas decorations. Making the most of every moment, b/c Emma won't be little for long. These are some pictures from the week. The last one is of her at Larrell's house or Mr. Harold as Emma calls him (it's hard for her to say Larrell). He has a beautiful log cabin and it just feels like a Smokey Mountain Christmas when you walk in! I love going there! Enjoy the pics!
