Kate's Corner: Decorating the house!

I can't believe the Christmas season has officially begun. It was like yesterday that we decorated last year's Christmas tree. I was all pregnant and couldn't wait for Leah to arrive. Now my little girl is almost ready to walk. We had couple of very warm days here in Atlanta lately so we decided to take advantage of this and decorate inside and outside of our house in one weekend right after the Thanksgiving (i couldn't wait more for the tree :) I just adore the Christmas decorations, gingerbread cookies and even gingerbread candles! Christmas always brings good memories in me so it's even more special to me. It is a time when everybody's heart is just more open and more giving. It is a time of joy and a time of reflection. There is nothing better than snuggling around the Christmas tree with your family watching the fire in the fireplace, eating gingerbread cookies and drinking hot chocolate while listening to Christmas carols. I just love this time soo much and cherish each and every moment I have with my family and friends. I cannot wait for babcia Ewa to come and visit us. She will be coming on the 11th and staying until the 27th. Babcia always brings the Christmas spirit up just by her amazing cooking and baking. I cannot wait to make some real gingerbread cookies with her like last year. We all loved it. It takes a long time to make them but they are worth waiting for because they are the best EVER!!! Anyways, here are just a few pictures of us decorating and playing around the tree.

Decorating our tree.

Leah has been really good with the tree around the house. She is not pulling any decorations down to my surprise. Noah was much more interested in the tree and he used to pull all the ornaments down (we had to half decorate the tree with him :) Leah is different. Every time she gets interested in something hanging from the tree she keeps saying "no no" :) Soo cute.
