It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

The decorations are out, the tree is trimmed and lots of ornaments have been "rearranged" (or possibly dismantled, decapitated, hidden in purses, etc.) several times. It is a whole new adventure to decorate with an elfin assistant who likes to test her limits!

This is her "I promise I was not about to break something or rip the garland off" face. "What me? Never!"

This morning we had LOTS of friends over to kick off our Christmas season with the 3rd Annual Dunbar Christmas Brunch! We I love getting all the yummy food ready and decking the halls on Knollwood Lane. Matt is a fantastic sport and even picked up leaves in the dark last night! I think it was worth it, though! What a festive little house!

 IF you look closely, you can see Susannah's new stocking. Thank you Mia for such a beautiful gift. All her friends loved it too!

Oh yes, there are presents under that tree, and luckily Susannah has not yet realized that they can be ripped open. It's a good thing, too. Most of them are for her!

 I wasn't sure if our house could hold 6 girls between 19 and 27 months, but we did. More little ones came later, but here is the largest group we had at once. From left to right- Madeline and mommy Rita; Elizabeth and mommy Laura; Susannah and me; Berkeley and mommy Meg; Ella Grace and mommy Emily; and Natalie and mommy Coleman. The daddies were here too, but they were busy chatting and eating- and taking our pictures! We are so thankful for all of our wonderful friends!

It's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas here at the Dunbar house! Merry Christmas to you!
