Capturing December Days 17-23

It's almost Christmas!! I can't wait to hang out with my family with all the holiday spirit and movies =]

Day 17: Presents
These are all the presents I've wrapped for everyone! I'll post up presents under the tree for the Christmas morning pictures =]


Day 18: Stockings
I know I cheated with having Red and Green being Leila and Kevin's stockings, but I don't care =]

Day 19: Candy Cane
My family has long put candy canes on our tree as additional decorations, and I have continued it at my house.

Day 20: Tree Topper
My parent's occasionally had a tree topper, but it was never constant or anything. The bf loves tree toppers so this was his pick =]

Day 21: Peace
Kevin and Leila always make me smile and they bring peace and joy into our house and lives. Plus cuteness =]

Day 22: Tradition
Christmas Pickle is one of my favorite traditions! We have been doing this for a long time, and what I find amusing is that one of my family history research phases discovered that we are way back German, and we were doing this tradition before we knew it! The bf is half German so his family has been doing it for a very long time.

Day 23: Scarf
I've had this Christmas dog since high school I think. He reminds me of my parents dog Scruffy since he has a brown nose too =] This guy's hat fell off, otherwise there would be a Santa hat on his head plus the scarf!

I hope everyone is enjoying these pictures and having fun with the challenge! Merry Christmas!! =]

  1. We do the candy cane thing too =) And I guess I don't have any German in me at all, because I've never heard of the Pickle ornament tradition until this year!

    2. It's so much fun! =] You hide it in the tree and then whoever finds it gets something special. My dad would give the finder $5.
