It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... Okay, here is our fun mantle loaded with Christmas decoration, and I love it! Actually, first I tried to fit most all of our decor on the mantle and it was a little too crazy! So, I moved a few items to the new dining-buffet table that Brent just MADE us! (PS we LOVE it!) See how I strategically put the play-nativity and the plush Christmas tree right down at the kids level so that way they wouldn't have to touch my nice Christmas decorations... yeah, that strategy didn't work at all... My favorite nativity- thanks mom!
Speaking of nativities, our stake is having their annual "Nativities from around the world" right now, and last night I got to sing with a small group to kick off the first night. AND, I did a solo, AND it was accapella! I asked Kelly how I did, and he said it was hard to hear (there were no mics!) and maybe that's better that it was hard to hear...

I love love your cute house and new bathroom and I especially love your mantle. Everything looks so beautiful! I am really jealous of your favorite nativity set. Joe said maybe he would buy me a wise man, after all it took those wise men a long time to get to the baby Jesus! He thinks he's so funny!
