It's MOST Officially Christmas!!

Ammon and I have been hard at work getting our house ready for Christmas. Here's a side view of the Village. Yep! I've followed in my mother's footsteps and have started collecting villages pieces. Derek started the whole thing with the clock tower, which is still the brightest piece! Ammon has let the collection grow as "Santa" has brought me new village pieces each year. See last year's Christmas blog for that funny story!!

We have a book case which we have added some holiday cheer to...

I sanded and painted the Nativity Scene below!

The whole bookcase.

Awwww.....the stained glass that started the Snowman Obsession! See Christmas of 2007 for that fun story!

The Snowman Stained Glass has 100 LED bulbs behind it...can you tell we have 5 layers of wax paper shielding your eyes from the glow?!

The garland that we put together last year...survived the long summer packed away...

Our Bright Tree!!

The "Day Time" version of Our Tree!!

Here's some pics of the outside of the house.

Also, Ammon and I are singing in our ward's Christmas program on Sunday and this is what I heard tonight. I'm being a bit sneaky, so the lights are out and Ammon doesn't know I'm taking a video of the sound. There's no actual footage, just my husband practicing in the shower! He's singing a duet in Spanish of Silent Night.




Just the cutest EVER!! I was in the den and heard him singing over the sound of Christmas Carols coming from my computer, the shower running and Ammon being across the house with a door closed. It's amazing how well we sing in the shower!!
