Christmas Decor 2012...the girl's part...

It's November 26 and the Douglas girls were very busy today.
We started by clean clean cleaning the house to the wonderful sound of Christmas music throughout the house....the girlies did more dancing than cleaning really.
And after all was clean...Christmas arrived...
Alaina was a good little ornament hanger this year.  
Big difference from last year when she just took all of the ornaments off the tree.
Two happy sisters and tree # 1 completed.
The stockings were hung by the...bookcase...with care...
And tree #2...I'm putting both pictures in because they're just cute...
One last pose from our decorating duo...
and then after all the decorating was done I found these sweet girls reading a Christmas book together under the tree.  What a perfect ending to a Christmas decorating day.
Almost as perfect as them being snug in their beds now as I write.
Now...Daddy's part of decorating is to come...the outside!

3 Year Old Room

Now that Alaina has turned 3, so has her bedroom. 
No more baby pictures for this big girl...
Audrey has a neat place to hang all her artwork.  
Alaina needed somewhere special to hang hers too.
a model Nettie, fun tree, and new lamp from Gia and Bapa
and her own play clock from Aunt Sarah...just like Mommy had when she was little.
and last, but certainly not least, Gia had a special picture painted to go over Laina's bed.  Can you see the 3 sweet characters in the center?   My 3 girls.
And the words over the oval say,
 "My God is so big so strong and so mighty there's nothing my God cannot do."
(Audrey and Alaina's favorite song right now.)
How special for our big girl.

Thank you Gia for all your sweet treats for Laina Beth.

Big Girls in November

A Sunday in November...

A 3 year old ready to go to church
