Butterflys and Christmas Trees

On Tuesday we bundled up and set out to get our Christmas Tree

Brrrrr....

We found the perfect one and strapped the excited kids and tree in the car!

Meanwhile the girls picked out special ornaments and decorated the little tree in their room all by themselves!

Claire loves handing Emily the ornaments!

It turned out really nice. I didn't change a thing on it!

She was so proud! Tomorrow we will get out their stuffed nativity and talk about the true meaning of the season. It will go under their tree for them to play with.

I am still missing a few key decorations that got left in Lafayette but here is our tree so far!

The kids loved decorating this tree too and even Chris was home to help I was just apparently too busy to take pictures....

What a wonderful start to the Christmas season.
