Christmas has Arrived

Christmas arrived this week at the Cooper residence in the form of manger scenes, Christmas lights, and a very modest tree.  

 This year the big tree just didn't make it out.  We are happy with our small little tree.

 I love my manger scene.  I have it on the ledge right in front of my sink and I look at it every time I wash something.

 Couldn't resist a photo of Polly.  She is excited for Christmas!

 I inherited these block Merry Christmas letters from my mom made by a very dear family friend.  They make me think of both my mom and our friend.  

The glowing mantle.  You can't quite see it, but on the ledge is a manger scene my mom and I painted together when I was little that she has also passed down to me.  I love passed down decorations.  

And this week the parties begin!  I love this season.  Although its very full of activity, its such a special time and such a wonderful celebration of our Savior Jesus.  

And P.S., thanks to my sister for the awesome camera.  I can't wait to take pictures of my sweet baby boy with it.
