It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

December is in full force at the Shulse house, and Christmas is definitely on the way! It is strange; Jesse and I will be celebrating our 5th Christmas together this year, as husband and wife, and yet this is the first year it really feels like we are our own family. I'm so excited about waking up Christmas morning, and getting Ryleigh up and celebrating Christmas; despite the fact she will have no idea it is a special day and will have no recollection of the memory. It makes the spirit of Christmas that much stronger when you have a little one to share it with. I'm already looking forward to next year, when she will be toddling around, opening her own presents and playing gleefully around the living room. What joy!

Here we are, as a family, buying our Christmas tree together

Daddy and Ryleigh having fun amidst the trees
Mommy and Ryleigh ventured off to look at the flocked trees...and opt for a photo moment :)
Even an Aggie Christmas outfit! Gig 'Em and Merry Christmas!
Auntie Sus bought Ryleigh this super cute (super TRUE) onesie! :)
Yes, I attempted to pose Ryleigh and Jersey. Silly me, I should have known better. Ryleigh is sitting great on her own, but everytime she sees Jersey she gets so excited...she kicks herself over!

Only two stockings hanging right now...I'm picking Ryleigh's up this week. I'm getting her name put on it.
Merry Christmas!
Jesus IS the reason for the season, and we will always have a manger scene to remind us of this very important fact that (sadly) seems so easy to forget this time of year.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
