Christmas Countdowns!

How many Christmas Countdowns can you cram into one house?  Lots, in ours!  Every morning Courtney has 5 jobs, most of which she accomplishes before I'm even out of bed. 

Countdown #1: The Manger Scene.

Every day brings a new piece to the nativity.  There really are 25 pieces, we just have some sheep hiding under the paper.



Countdown #2: The Paper Chain


Countdown (countup?) #3: Changing the date blocks



Countdown # 4: Candy Cane Snowman Mover Along (Yes, that's it's official name!)


Countdown #5: Candy Ribbon


And on the subject of Christmassy stuff:

Daddy helping Courtney put the star on top of the tree (Yep, Jeremy is taller than the tree.  Our 8 year old Christmas tree finally gave out so we bought a smaller one for our smaller home.  Fits just perfect!)


We also bought new stockings this year.  Bet you can't guess whose is who's?


And it just wouldn't be Courtney if she didn't throw in a few poses while the camera was out:





Now all she needs to do is nod her head, wiggle her nose, and wish us into a lot of money!

Your home looks amazing! Love the tree, it's beautiful! And so is Courtney, loving all her poses, she's a natural! Thanks again for inviting Ava over to make a countdown ribbon... she LOVES IT (can you guess why?) ;)

Hmmm. It didn't save my comment. Anyway, I love Courtney's poses and countdowns.

Your tree looks great, even if it is short. Well, more like even if Jeremy is abnormally tall :)
I really like the trunks by your front door, too. And I REALLY like Courtney hamming it up!

That is a LOT of counters. We have four and I can NOT keep up with them. I think the paper chain in our house has to go. I can only count to 25 so many times.......
