Trent's light & music display he worked so hard on :)
The tree...
My Willow Tree Nativity Set. I love setting it up every year and slowly adding pieces to my collection each year!
The mantel with my NEW card display Trent made me! He made me the frame with his new tools he got from his birthday back in June, then we attached wire and used mini clothespins to hang the cards. I LOVE getting holiday cards... especially the picture ones!
I need suggestions on the frame though. Trent likes the "rustic" look of the cedar boards. I however am not so sure... our house isn't really the rustic-y type. Should I paint, stain, leave how it is, etc for next year? I need some ideas!!
The centerpiece for the table...
Ashley came up with the awesome idea a few years back of giving us ladies in the family a set of Christmas china each year so that eventually we'll have all sorts of various Christmas sets to set a table with. I thought it was the coolest idea and love that someday our kids will get to pick the set they want to use each year from all of them I'll have gotten over the years! This was my set from last year.
My dish set from 2008... my first Christmas as an Olivier!
The Oliviers on Christmas Eve before heading to church
We always spend Christmas Eve here in Gardner with my family. Sadly, I forgot my camera on the charging dock so I only took two pictures with my camera phone at the McMillan family Christmas. I was so disappointed with myself! My mom always decorates her dining room so pretty for our family dinners!
I loved the little pears hanging off her glittery branches.
Christmas morning is spent at our house with these two cuties... I'll spare you the pics of Trent and I on Christmas morning. I'm especially attractive in the mornings.
On Christmas morning we make a breakfast and use my fancy Christmas china... then we make the drive to get to Great Bend a little after lunchtime.
The fur babies are already worn out from waking up so early for Santa haha.
Starting Christmas in Great Bend...
Somebody already needing a nap haha
Bentley really liked Jeryn's new chair
Jordan and Joshua opening presents
Jeryn's rocking horse from Abuelo Bob and Abuela Lora.
Everyone admiring Bob's handiwork... it was incredible!
Bob with his picture frame that Trent built for him to hang on his "Wall of Fame" in his shop.
Lora with her picture frame that Bob built her
I think Jeryn liked the packages more than the presents this year!
Santa's little helper
Jeryn and her toy we got her- it starts as a walker to help her learn how to walk and then it also converts into a rider toy.
J-Fe chillaxin' in her new chair from Santa :)
Jeryn's Santa Claus beard during bathtime
