all the small things

We are very close to Christmas right now and everything is just turning into a chaos. I wish I could just sit back and reflect and really fully appreciate the small blessings in life. I am sure aware of them but just to truly reflect on them is something I need. There is so little time in my days that are filled with work, teaching the kids, housework, animals, and just stuff. I still don't have all christmas presents bought or made and the date is fast approaching. After this weekend I vow to relax more and experience this Christmas season the way it's meant to be experienced. 
For now, please take a look at some of our decorations we put up with the kids around our home!




This angel was a gift from my mom...


We love to pretend that the silver tinsel is our inside snow ;-)


One of my best decorative pieces is this German Candle mill. (Kids love to play with it while eating)



A little count down help...


and some wooden letters are a must! I love them. 


This is a detail of our tree this year and...


This was our tree last year. I have to admit I am a bigger fan of white lights...
