We put our Christmas decorations up on November 16. I know, it's very early, but we had reasons. The biggest reason being, WE LOVE CHRISTMAS! And we are super excited about Christmas with Kendall this year. Here are some pictures of her helping us put out the decorations.
She loves her Little People nativity set. We collect nativities and have about a dozen around the house from all around the world and she will go up to each one and say "Baby Jesus!" So sweet!
We decorated her tree in her room. She thought the beads worked better as a necklace.
Getting out the most beautiful tree!
And here are some pictures of the finished product. Our mantle:
I finished all three of our stockings! I sewed Kendall's last year before Christmas,
I sewed Randy's this summer,
and I just finished mine up a few weeks ago! I am very proud of these!
Three of our nativities that are in the kitchen: Bolivia, Jim Shore, and Kenya.
Kendall's room. Some of my Precious Moments in her window, Christmas books on the shelf, and her little tree! It was actually our first tree that we had for several years until we bought our big one. We love that little tree!
Kendall's toy box. She plays with her nativity all the time, and those penguins and snowman dance and she loves to dance with them!
All my snowman Christmas dishes are out in the kitchen.
And finally, the tree - my most favorite part of all. It is a 9 foot tree, so when we moved to Lake Jackson and were looking for a house it was a requirement that we have a house with vaulted ceilings so our tree would fit. It fits perfectly in our cottage!
Merry Christmas from the Danes! We hope you're having as much fun as we are!

I love the tree! It looks so pretty! And i love, love, love the nativities. Our chaplain in CA did that and they had the most beautiful collection. I think that is such a neat idea!
I think we have the same tree! Did you get it at Hobby Lobby? Ours is 9ft slim tree...
Love all the decorations! Christmas is so much fun with little babies running around.
Oh, Ashley! You did such a great job on all of the stockings!! Each one is perfect for each person! And what a pretty house! Kendall will always love Christmas as much as you because of memories of her beautiful home!!
Everything looks so pretty. The stockings are all precious and the more so because you made them.
Thanks for sharing with us. It looks like everyone had fun getting in the Christmas spirit.
