Let it snow!!!! & Some holiday spirit!!!

E's first snowfall.
December 4, 2009
E's 1st snowfall he was excited about!!
Today!!
We scampered outside to get some fresh air and enjoy the first dusting of the season.
Tasting the snow.
I had even promised him that we would pull out his sled for the first snow of the year.
He went for a short ride and then enjoyed pulling it himself.
I'm thinking he can pull Baby CB next year ;)
Typically our Christmas decorations go up the first of December. This year they went up the day after Thanksgiving!! I'm really excited to decorate for E and have him enjoy all the holiday spirit.
This is our mantle. Our stockings are from Pier1, and E's and C's (can't wait to put all four up next year) are from an old cable-knit cashmere sweater of mine- so cute.
The living room, half a-glow.
My husband made the sweetest comment when he came home from work and saw the tree for the first time: "It is just what I imagine when I think of a perfectly decorated Christmas tree". Guess I did a good job ;)
E even has a miniature tree in his playroom (mine from college).
Still have a bit more decorating to go!
The tree decorations/stockings are all silver/platinum or champagne (our wedding colors), but I snuck a fun one in this year- a bright red cardinal from Great-Great Auntie S. I thought it would be neat to move it around every so often and have E find it.
Even decorated the dining room credenza.
The banister garland is from Great G&G S. and it looks beautiful all lit up.
I added some jingle bells in for more E fun. He loves to ring them every time he passes by.
Jingle. Jingle. Giggle. Giggle.
