mormonmommyblogs.com christmas tour 2009

So.... I adore the site www.mormonmommyblogs.com and they are hosting their first ever christmas home tour! Now, my mom is the queen of holiday decorating, but im not so good at it, hehe. But we LOVE counting down to christmas at our house, so i thought i would show some of our favorite ways to count down to christmas!
We have a felt tree from the amazing www.funfelt.com karen clark! the kids get to put a new ornament or gift under the felt tree; we have a paper chain with a loop for each day that has a service project or special scripture on it, that we do at bedtime; we have the neat bear countdown that my sister and i used as children-- u move the little bear each day to a different part of the house ;)
Then we have our little reindeer and glass nativity, and our charlie brown christmas tree decorated by the kids, and dont forget to note the line of puppy dog stickers on the wall leading to the tree, that was sydneys contribution lol!!!!!
Merry Christmas!!!
