Feeling Festive

We're starting to get into the holiday spirit around here, and some of us are even a little giddy about it. I had plans to get our tree up this week, but that just didn't happen. We have gotten a few other things done on the list though. We also spent some time downtown Greenville last night with friends and lots of Christmas spirit.

My favorite nativity

Peanut butter blossoms - Yum!

...And the ($ Tree) stockings were hung by the window with care...

We've got some work to do in this department.

Day 1 of Elf on the Shelf

Tillman's nativity

Last Saturday night Tillman and I had a girls's night while Josh went to the Clemson/Carolina game.

I somehow ended up agreeing to let Tillman get a babydoll. She's never picked one out before. So, we went down the doll isle and picked one out. As we were walking to the register to pay for the doll, Tillman started saying she wanted to go down another isle. Long story short, we ended up putting the $20 babydoll back and leaving with the $40 Buzz LightYear instead. (We had a giftcard.)  This girl cracks me up, but I love that she is into whatever. We have just recently discovered Toy Story, which she refers to as "Story Time."

Another long story... Back in February we had some issues with a pair of TOMS Josh bought me for Valentine's Day. Well, two weeks ago Josh received an email from them saying they wanted to make things right, so they gave him a free pair of TOMS.  That's pretty good customer service if you ask me. 

Tillman's Pinterest Christmas tree. 

The real one will hopefully go up today. 

She loved putting all the ornaments on and naming what each one is. 

Silly girl didn't really get the star in the same spot I would have chosen. 

Looking at the Christmas tree downtown Greenville last night. 

T and Nolan - so cute

They had so much fun looking at the tree, watching people ice skate, seeing Santa, petting a horse, listening to steel drum Christmas carols, eating dinner, and walking around downtown.

My two silly children playing at the ice skating rink.

She was so enthralled with watching everybody skate. We were here for a good 15 minutes, at least. 

The kids meeting the horse giving tours. 

A one-finger touch.

Santa and his sleigh giving rides around downtown. This is such a neat idea.

Tillman was tickling Nolan. Love all those smiles.

Good-bye hugs.
