Getting in the Christmas spirit!

Friday night we decorated out tree! Lexi was such a big help this year and was very helpful with Shelby, showing her how to hang the ornaments. Shelby thought it was so much fun! Even though she hung, took off, and rehung the same ornament the whole time :) Oh well, it kept her busy! I love trees that are decorated by kids! The ones where ornaments are all in one area!! They are too cute! So here is ours...

Shelby was just facinated with the tree. We have given her the "no touch" talk and she has done surprisingly well. She walks by it several times and says "wow" or "tree pretty"

Then Saturday we headed over to my mom and dads to take some christmas pictures. My moms house is decorated soooo good for christmas its like a little winter wonderland! Anyway we got some good pics, but we had a hard time getting Shelby to smile! We danced and cooed, and jumped up and down but she just mostly looked at us like we were nuts! lol Thanks though to my sister who took the pics!!

Our christmas pic for 2009 (shelby is saying "cheese") lol

Holding some presents :)

Finally we got a smile!!!!

Here was shelby telling us "all done" lol she had had enough of picture taking!!

We had a good time, got our family christmas pic done, and got the Christmas cards out!!! Yay! Next up...visiting a christmas tree farm (even though we have our tree, they have a ton of rides and stuff for the kids) and seeing Santa!! Hopefully it goes well. We did a trial run with Santa and Shelby at Walmart one day when he just happened to be there and there was no line lol but it was a no go! Shelby was all pumped and ready but when I went to take her out of the cart she said "nope" lol so we'll see how it goes when Alexia is here.
