Joys of Christmas!

I always enjoy participating in Melissa’s joys of Christmas!  I never seem to begin on the right day, but always seem to catch up.  I have posted days 1 through 10 today! 

I haven’t posted lately since I lost my camera after vacation.  I am sick.  I lost all of my pictures from the school Thanksgiving feast and our family’s Thanksgiving vacation.  Although I have bought a new camera, I still pray that I find my other one. 

Day 10

Christmas 2011 062

Every day this week the kids send in prizes for a pal.  Zach loved his gift for today. 

Day 9

Christmas 2011 083

Today we did Christmas crafts at school!  I love the expression in Zach’s eyes as he watches his Aunt Misty swirl paint around inside his ornament! 

Day 8

Christmas 2011 105

Mr. Soldier finds himself at home next to our Christmas tree! I wasn’t sure I liked him where my husband perched him.  I think I like him though. 

Day 7

Christmas 2011 111

Every year, Zach gets ornaments from his Nana.

Christmas 2011 113

I love Zach’s sock monkey ornament he got from his Ma Maw who also gets him an ornament each year! 

Day 6

Christmas 2011 054

We made these little ornaments at school.  I had an extra kit at home….Zach made one especially for me.  He loves to craft and make messes with paper.  My sisters always hoped I would get someone to make messes like I did with little pieces of paper.  I have my own little mess maker-Zachary Blake. 

Day 5

Christmas 2011 021

Santa likes his home among the ornaments so much that you can’t even see his eyes.  :)
