One of my favorite things to do is Table settings. This year we had Christmas dinner at my house and this was my table. Simple, but it looked pretty!
I decorated bulbs with glitter glued them to little mirrors and took the tops off and put flowers in them.
Adam got me the mirror end tables I've been wanting for our bedroom. They look really good.

Christmas Dinner at the Taits...

Christmas...
We had a really good Christmas this year. Christmas Eve we went to Adams parents house to do the nativity and other things. The kids get to open a family present which is always a game. They also got robes this year.
Growing up we had a tradition taking pictures sitting on the stairs oldest at the top and youngest at the bottom on Christmas morning. So we've continued that tradition in our family.
In our house Santa only brings 1 present and the rest are from mom and dad. The one from Santa isn't wrapped so the kids have to stay upstairs until we come and get them, I know the torture we put them through! (we have the baby monitor on so we know when they're up) Well Owen sometimes comes down in our bed in the middle of the night. So sure enough he came running in our room Christmas morning waving his present from Santa. We pried it from his hands and put it back. We got the other kids tried to take the pictures and opened presents. (that's why Owen wasn't happy in the picture, he knew what was down stairs waiting for him.)

Hollands Blessing...
Riley has really taken a liking to Holland. At first he wouldn't even kiss or hold her now shes the first thing he goes to after school. Hes such a big help. Always willing to hold her and he loves putting her to sleep. He lays on the couch with Holland on his chest.
Paige is not that into her as I thought. She holds her and kisses her but not as much as Riley.
Owen Always has to know where "baby" is, that's what he calls her. But he's not a big help either. If I ask him to get something he say "no you get it." Hes such a little punk. Since Hollands been born he won't go to nursery which he loved! Last week he wouldn't leave my side. In a couple of weeks hes a Sunbeam. So we'll see how he does.

Holland Petornella Tait
Holland is finally here. She weighed 8lbs and 19 1/2in long, I thought she was going to be over 9lbs. Everything went really well and fast, thank goodness!
Owen loves looking at her feet for some reason. He loves to old her and give her kisses. When he wakes up in the morning shes the first thing he asks for. Paige was so excited to see her new sister she cried.
Riley, well hes getting used to her. He didn't want to hold her the first couple of days, which was weird but now hes more willing. We got home before the kids got home from school so this was the first time they saw their new sister. They couldn't come to the Hospital because of the H1N1 so they had to wait. Paige was pretty sad.
