Christmas Decorations Are Up!

Due to warming weather (yes, it's still winter, right?) we had rain mixed with freezing rain this week.  Thursday we were surprised with phone calls around 6am saying that school had been cancelled due to the poor road conditions.  Some may say this is coincidence - I say it's an answer to prayer. I had a particularly challenging day on Wednesday and I do believe God heard my prayers and gave me a wonderful day of rest.  

So - what did the Jacobsen family do on this unexpected day off?!?  Well, Papa went and hid in the bedroom to watch TV while the kids and I decorated for Christmas! 

Up First - decorating the tree ofcourse!









After tree was decorated, they pretty much lost interest in decorating the rest of the house. So it was time for a snack and a show while Momma finished up.  They did however find this little Christmas tree I received as a gift when I was a Sunday School teacher in high school quiet entertaining. 






Okay- this one really has nothing to do with the blog post- I just thought it was so funny the smile he gave me - such a crack up these days!

Since we decorated on Thursday, we were able to do our official home photography Christmas photos today.  Some will not be shared until our Christmas card arrives.  I will share a few from the mornings photo shoot. 











This one is probably one of my favorites- not because they are holding hands or that they are both actually looking at the camera. I like this one because you just have to wonder, "Are they being naughty or nice?"

The rest of this icy Saturday was filled with finishing the annual Christmas letter and last few gifts to buy. I think tomorrow we'll spend the day baking- not sure what - just feel like baking.   Have a wonderful weekend!!
