It's the most wonderful time of the year...

With the Tree up and the house decorated, Christmas is in full swing at our house!
 
 
Luke and Abbey are so into every part of it this year, and I'm trying to soak up the Magic through their eyes.
 
We've been reading Christmas books every night before bed, wearing our cozy Christmas jammies, and rapidly filling up the calendar with fun events and outings.
 
I've got most our Christmas shopping done, but I'm going to wait until closer to the 25th to actually wrap presents and put them under the tree...I feel like the less time the twins have to stare at brightly colored packages under the tree, the better chances of not giving into two-year-old temptation =).
 
One big thing left on my December to-do list is create and order our Christmas cards. I need to get on that so both so I can send them to friends and family, and so I can participate in Faith's Christmas Card Carousel!  We are ordering our cards through TinyPrints this year. I haven't used them before, but they have some super cute options for really reasonable prices! (Right now they even have free shipping with promo code: FREESHIP12.
 
I always love creating our Christmas card and then comparing it to previous years...our little family changes so much over 12 months! I love receiving cards from friends and family too. I found a fun new way to display them this year (thank you, Pinterest) and love that they serve as a decoration now too!
 
 
Hope your Season is Merry and Bright!

PS--I ♥ that idea to hang cards up. Very cute and creative!
