Getting ready for Christmas




Last weekend we put up and decorated our Christmas trees. This year is extra special because Carly is SOOOOOO excited about every little light, ornament, branch and, needless to say, present. Because of her excitement we decided to put a Christmas tree in Carly's room. She loves that tree! Together Carly and I made a button garland for her tree. The plan is to decorate her tree with all homemade ornaments. It may take us years but we'll do it, eventually.
The best part is every time we turn on the Christmas lights Carly jumps up and down yelling, "Yeah! This is the best Christmas Tree Ever!!!!" I love it.
In the picture on the left Carly is standing in front of HER Christmas Tree. She's holding her favorite ornament which is a nest with three little eggs in it. (the ornament is a little blurry, sorry.)


I also included this picture of Nolan.
We took this picture when we went shopping for Christmas trees.
