Decorating for Christmas!

Another year, another move during the Christmas Break... also means that it is another year we don't get to decorate our home for Christmas! :(
Luckily, we were going to be living with Grandma Allen by Christmas! I had the kids ditch school and we headed down to her house so the kids could get a chance to decorate (they were pretty busted up about not being able to last year).
It was a great day. The kids sure felt special! We ate junk food and listened to Christmas music and went through all of my mom's decorations and even hung some ornaments!
See kids - I at least tried to keep up with Christmas traditions even though for the 2nd year in a row our family situation has been a little skeewampus over the holidays.

These are the retro place-mats we used even when I was a kid. I love Christmas memories!

Grandma Allen is the BEST!!! We love her so much and are THRILLED we get to stay with her until we move to UTAH!
