Deck the Halls

We spent yesterday afternoon getting the Christmas stuff out of the attic and decorating the inside of the house.  Kathryn was very good during the whole thing and seemed curious about it all.  This is her second Christmas, but last year she was only a couple of weeks old when we put up the tree.  She seemed excited this year and kept taking ornament boxes out and she loved playing with the lights.  I'll post more pictures of the decorations once the house is put back in order, but for now, here's a few pictures of us decorating yesterday.

She loved the boxes.

Getting ready to decorate!

Jared and Kate putting on some ornaments.

She loved the lights.

We found my hair comb from our wedding in a box. I didn't realize Jared was taking pictures of me wearing it.

Putting on the star!

The tree!  It'll look better with presents underneath.

She loves the holiday shower curtain.

Jenny got Kathryn this NYPL "Future Reader" shirt.  She was finally able to wear it today.

The Nugen Stockings: These stockings have been a tradition since the 1940s.  Grandma Peggy made mine back when I was born and Jared's when we got married and Aunt Sheryl made Kathryn's last year.  I'll always treasure them.
