After a great Thanksgiving in Houston, we came home and got the Christmas stuff out. We have a box of Christmas books that the girls were so excited about and they LOVED putting the ornaments on the tree. It was really cute to watch how excited they both were. Bailee was excited about seeing it all as fast as she could, and Leah got our 2 huge panda bears (a present from the Fletchers when we got married) and latched on to them. They chattered and had a great time. Our tree is scarce on ornaments up top, but there are clumps on the bottom where you could find every kind of ornament on one branch!
Each year, when I was a kid, my mom bought me an ornament. My first one was a red headed angel. Her hair is made of yarn and her body is a yellow plastic dress, and I loved her! Even when I was away at college, my mom would save that ornament for me to put on the tree. When we got married, my mom passed our ornaments down to my brother and I. It was really fun putting those on the tree. Our girls each get an ornament during Christmas also. We try to get something related to what they have been doing that year. It's really cool. Each ornament has a story that we talk about so it is really fun.
Have a great day and hope you are well.

Soooo, what kind of ornaments did they get this year?
We have a few of those "spots" on our tree. I even gave him a ladder and he still clumped them at the bottom. You'd be proud, I am restraining my anal side and leaving them! It's driving me crazy every time I walk past but I not rearranging. Now if they fall off, I can't help it if I hang them in an empty spot... :)
When are we having our gingerbread house time???
