Christmas Decoratings

Our family was supposed to put up all of our Christmas decorations and trim the tree tonight, but our plans went awry. When Greg tested our tree lights and discovered about 2/3 of them burned out, we decided to decorate the rest of the house and buy new lights to decorate the tree tomorrow. The boys were disappointed, but we had fun making our home feel a bit more Christmasy.
The boys love having their own trees in their rooms and putting their school and church ornaments on them. Since Enoch doesn't have too many yet, his tree is covered with snowflakes. Gavin's tree is covered with homemade ornaments and looks great.

All of the kids have their own nativity scenes in their rooms as well. Enoch's nativity is a bit whimsical looking with all the figures looking like balls with heads (the animals also have small feet stuck to the bottoms of the ball bodies). Enoch was telling me all the characters as he was setting it up on his nightstand: Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus in his manger, a shepherd, a wise man, a cow and a hippo. That's it, I'm sure all of you did not know about the hippo that was in the stable with the other animals, but Enoch, as always, knows what we do not.
I'm not much for completely transforming our house for Christmas, but we do enjoy putting a few memorable decorations.
