Once Upon a Christmas-time...

We began decorating our house for Christmas.

 Preslie loved climbing up the ladder to help Rick put the lights on the house.

 Heights are no longer a fear factor for this girl!

 Not to be outdone by the little sister...Addison went up~

 My sweet husband hung all the greens for me above the cabinets.

 Kyleigh and Preslie sorting out the branches  ~

 Building the tree ~

Preparing the tree branches - all was calm and all was right in the world...or atleast the Gaut home
until...

The wrestling began! What is it with boys and wrestling and do they ever outgrow it?!

Then the girls got in on the action

preparing to be bucked off

There she goes...

Then calm was restored and the decorating resumed

Kyleigh's tree in her room

Preslie and Addison's tree for their room

Putting the final touches on the tree

Chosing the next ornaments to be hung with care ;)

 We're on a four year rotation for putting the angel on the tree! She'll get to do this again in 2015 - she'll be 18 years old...have mercy!

Our sweet Beagle! She was performing and being cute as usual!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
