December 2012...Part 1

One of the very best/most fun parts of holidays at our house is the decorating, especially for Christmas! We start the day after Thanksgiving and it usually takes us all day, but it is definitely worth it. We always decorate the tree on the first Monday in December for Family Home Evening and this year Mary got fancy with her camera. =)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...!
