I LOVE Christmas! I love
decorating for Christmas! This year was one of my favorites because
my girls were so into helping decorate. I mentioned to Ava that we
“might” put the tree up that night and her excitement was
contagious and definitely was not going to let me get away with not
putting it up!
Ava helped with all of
it...putting the tree together and fluffing the branches as well as
putting on the ornaments. Ella watched her sister for a short
time...this was the first time she would have seen a Christmas
tree...but then she quickly wanted to be a part of hanging the
ornaments. They were excellent helpers and I watched proudly as they
picked out and hung each ornament. It's so fun to share with the
girls the stories behind each ornament. I Christmases are just going
to get more fun every year!
We have a pre lit tree and
unfortunately when we got the tree put together the lights on the
middle section would not turn on. I worked on them for a little time
but then decided that I'd just go get other lights to fill in later.
At one point Ava was putting up an ornament in the section and must
have gotten the string of lights just right and all the sudden the
middle section lit up. I got excited and clapped and Ava exclaimed,
“That's marvelous!!”
