Oh Christmas Tree...

I think one of the greatest gifts of becoming a parent is being able to see things through a child's eye and appreciating those little things and fun holiday traditions all over again. We picked out our Christmas tree this weekend and I was really excited because I knew emma would appreciate it more than last year! And that she did! We had so much fun bundling up, looking through the trees, and then coming home to decorate. She had fun decorating herself with the lights and tinsel and kept saying, "cool, cool", but really enjoyed helping and watching the ornaments go up one by one although she is now enjoying taking any ornament she can reach off the tree one by one! Still today she is coming down the stairs scrunching up her nose and sniffing the tree...I'm glad she appreciates the scent of a Christmas tree as much as I do!

Emma and "Mr. Bear" waiting and watching for Chris to come up to the house with the tree...she was very excited and anxious!



Emma hanging her new ornament for this year...a rocking horse made from bells. This is definitely one tradition I hope to keep up. We hope everyone enjoys the pre-Christmas spirit!
