Decorating & Carols

This past Saturday the kids and I decorated the house. JL flew to Phoenix early Saturday morning, but late Friday night he got the tree out and set it up for us. James and Izzy were so excited to see it up and ready for "ormanents." We'd been to Hallmark the previous week getting Wyatt's first Christmas ornament, so I let the kids each pick one of their own for this year.

James picked a "How to Train Your Dragon" one while Isable picked "The Princess and the Frog." You can bet those were the first two ornaments on our tree. After that, we hung the stockings (quite a few this year - it takes up pretty much our whole mantle!

Later that night at the Ward Christmas Party. James and his buddy Jasper sat perfectly still and sang their little harts out!
James did a great job singing in the program. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to film hardly any of it. Wyatt and Izzy kept me busy enough I got just a few seconds here and there.
