Tales of Winter Wonderland

We had a great time today decorating for Christmas!

The kids were really into it...I even managed to get Danny to put lights outside. That's just because it's not freezing like it usually is when he has to do it.

After we decorated (and the kids "took a nap" hahaha) we all went to Tempe Town Marketplace. It's kind of like Zona Rosa or the Legends in KC. They had music and a HUGE tree and even made snow fall (okay, really it was just a bunch of bubble/suds machines but it did look like snow!).

Since we no longer have a fireplace we were stumped about what to do with the stockings...they may end up on the wall by the tree because Danny said the baker's rack (that's now in the entryway) looks like something you'd find in a little craft store...is that good or bad?

Hopefully, that singing Santa won't become a fixture! He's cute but could use a muzzle!

We'll take some pictures of the outside after we get all the lights up tomorrow after church.
