HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We hope that everyone had a good 2011 and will have a great 2012. We look forward to getting together with friends and family in the new year.

Christmas Decorations

Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. I have so much fun opening up the ornaments and decorations. I love decorating the house and tree for the season. Here are some of the great decorations that we have for our house.

One of my Christmas countdown gifts this year.

Picked all of these up at local sales and stores.

Zatanna's Grandparents gave this to her last year. It stayed out most of the year becasue she liked playing with it so much.

My Grandma made these for our first Christmas with Zatanna.







This is my Santa from when I was a baby. I received him my very first Christmas.

Christmas Ornaments

We love homemade and family ornaments. Here are some pictures of the ornaments that hang on our tree starting with when Art and I were married on 2004.

Santa Arrived Early

Since we were traveling to Nana and Papa's house for Christmas, Santa was so sweet and he stopped by our house early to drop off a present for Zatanna. Since she loves to cook this is a great gift for her. She has been having a lot of fun cooking for us.

Merry Christmas!

We hope that every one has a very Merry Christmas!

Mr. Penguin

We bought an inflatable penguin to decorate for the holidays. Instead of putting it outside we decided to keep it indoors. Zatanna seems to like him:)

Playing with Daddy's Hats

So the night that I told Izzy I needed to get a picture of her in her daddy's orange hat she found out that Daddy has several hats. Then of course we had to try them all on with Daddy.

Daddy's neck already hurt so Izzy kneeling on it did not make it feel any better.

Art's Superhero Christmas Tree

This year for Art's Christmas countdown I got him a lot of superhero ornaments. He already had some, but I got a enough that he can have his very own Superhero Christmas Tree!

This is one of my favorite ornaments. We got this when I was pregnant with Zatanna.

All of these are wooden ornaments that I got from WoodWear by Andrea on Etsy.

These are all made of Felt. The Superman and Batman came from LexiFeltique on Etsy. The Captain America and Green Lantern came from Blackrose1151 on Etsy.

I think all of these are Hallmark made ornaments.

Although neither of these are superheros they are on Art's tree and Zatanna wanted to take their pictures as well so they get an honorable mention.
