Santa's little helper

I love the holidays...I love hearing Christmas music on the radio and Christmas decorations in all the stores and thinking about Christmas gifts for family and friends.

We had fun setting up Christmas this past week. I had been putting it off because of Ty. A one year and Christmas decorations didn't seem to mix. But we did it and he's loved all the new lights and shinny things around the house. Ty has been so fun with the tree. Surprisingly he hasn't been as bad as I thought he would be. Every now and then he takes an ornament off the tree and carries it around. ...But mostly he likes to crawl behind the tree and sit and play. ...I'm just hoping he doesn't knock it over.

He loves the wrapping paper :)
This little puppy is Ty's pal these days. You squeeze his paw and it sings and dances to Jingle Bell Rock... Ty loves it and loves to dance with him.
This little snowman is supposed to be on our front porch... but Ty is so cute... we tell him to give the snowman kisses and he runs over and kisses him... it's so cute I can't take him out of the living room yet.
I am so happy about this! The last few years I've been collecting the different pieces to the Willow Tree Nativity set and this year I am lucky enough to have them all. ...Thanks to my mom and sister for birthday and Christmas gifts I now have it and I love it... yes I realize it is sitting on top of DVD player ... but I have no where else to put the DVD player... or Nativity scene.

I started collecting the Willow Tree set last year when Michael's mom gave us the first set. I just got the wiseman a couple of days ago--I love them! Your little Ty is so, so cute! I can't wait to see all the cousins together in a couple of weeks. Mom and Dad's house is never going to be the same... :)

Ty is so cute, I bet he's so excited about all the christmas stuff!! Leia is scared of going anywhere near the tree since ELiot tipped it over that one time!! I can't wait for Ty to show her the snowman!

Looks great!! Ty is seriously the sweetest little guy in the world:) He kisses the snowman how cute! I love that he has found his own little spot to play behind the tree.

that's great that Ty isn't totally ruining the tree and decorations. He is too dang cute kissing the snowman. He's growing up so fast.

I love that nativity set. I was just telling Matt the other day that once he is done with school and we have a "real home" for me to put it in...I WILL be getting it!
Great pictures of Ty. I think Christmas is so much fun when you have little ones!
