This year to combat the strange Christmas summer season, and lack of family around, I made a special effort each day to try and help us get in the Christmas spirit. Between the decor and activities, I think our first Aussie Christmas was a success.
A couple of fun highlights from the month of December were:
Gingerbread Houses
_
(made a little more difficult with the absence of graham crackers in this country)
Making new (much needed) stockings.
_
Beckett's stocking last year was from the dollar store, and Wil didn't even have one.
Adventing
_
Each day looking forward to performing something Christmas-y found in these fun little boxes boxes, such as...
...making a reindeer crown
...writing Santa his Christmas Eve note
...acting out the nativity scene with all of Beckett's animals.
...making lots and lots of Christmas goodies
...and even more Christmas crafts
...and enjoying each and every day of the season.
We had such a wonderful holiday celebration, hope yours was special too!

Sooooo cute! Can you come and decorate my house next year? Or maybe just in general...looks like you guys had a great time!
So cute - I love all your decorations! I bet the boys just loved all the fun activities. Wil is getting so big and in that last pic he totally reminds me of Logan's Lydia! Love you Linds, and Happy New Year!
Wow! I would say you brought the Spirit of Christmas Down Under. Wonderful pictures.
Wow Lindsay. Your place looks like a magazine spread. Way to go!
Beautiful Christmas decorations! I love the stockings!
Linds, thanks for posting so many photos of your home and all your new decorations. The video was awesome but it went to fast for me to really see each thing. I wish I could have come to your home for some good celebrating! Love you!
Okay, seriously...that's your house?! I really thought I was looking at pictures from a magazine! All your decor and arrangements look SO cute! You are SO talented!
Love, love, love this post Lindz. I miss you so much! You truly are the craft queen. The Halls girls need to get togther and throw our own craft weekend. So are those burlap stockings? I saw some on Make It and Love It and fell in love, I'll have to make some for next year!!! I kind of have a burlap addiction. I love how you added your demask flair to Christmas. That was great. I think my favorite crafts were your Advent Calendar (I need more detail. How did you make it and how did you stick it on the wall? Darling. I've seen a lot of advent calndars and haven't really seen one I like, until now... :) ) and the Merry and Bright Wreath with the mirror. Very beautiful. Your house always looks perfect. I need you to decorate mine! :) I showed Tyler and we can't get over how big Wil is getting. Can't wait to see you guys this summer. Love ya!
Love all the cute decor! We miss you guys, and would love some summer weather right now:)
Okay. I know you are a photographer, and I know you are crafty, but come on! Those pictures don't look like they are from a "real" house; they look like a pottery barn catalog, only better! You've got some serious talent!
SO CUTE! Makes me want to start crafting for next year already! Miss you guys! ~ Your AZ cousins Devin and Becky
It looks like it's straight out of a magazine!! GORGEOUS! I Love it all! Miss you guys!
xoxo
